Symptoma

Nesidioblastosis

Islet Cell Hyperplasia

We present the clinical, laboratory, radiological and pathological findings in a 34 yr-old-man with recurrent hypoglycemia. The pertinent literature is reviewed. A 34- yr-old man presented in 1992 with symptoms of recurrent hypoglycemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Fatigue

    We ask about general symptoms (anxious mood, depressed mood, fatigue, pain, and stress) regardless of condition. Last updated: January 31, 2019 [patientslikeme.com]

    Causes symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, increased heart rate, and other symptoms. See syncope. We thank you for using the Health Dictionary to search for Nesidioblastosis. [healthdictionary.info]

    Fatigue can occur which can also be accompanied by headaches. Increasing hunger pangs and thirst with increased urination are some of the common symptoms of Nesidioblastosis of pancreas. [epainassist.com]

    Nesidioblastosis may include the following: Symptoms of low glucose level in blood, such as sweating, dizziness/confusion, blurring of vision, and even loss of consciousness Nausea and vomiting Abdominal pain, back pain Loss of appetite, weight loss Fatigue [dovemed.com]

  • Cerebral Palsy

    If appropriate treatment is delayed there is a high risk of the development of cerebral palsy, impaired mental development, epilepsy or other forms of irreversible brain damage, so early detection and early treatment to stabilize serum glucose levels [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

    Pathologists have found abnormal formation and placement of beta cells in people with cystic fibrosis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome or sudden infant death syndrome and even in healthy infants. [wisegeek.com]

  • Pleural Effusion

    Here, we report a case of a 12-year-old male who presented with pleural effusion and was revealed to have a large anterior mediastinal mass. Biopsy of the mass revealed benign mature teratoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Melena

    We describe a case of a young, white male who presented with complaints of hematemesis and melena 18 years following subtotal pancreatectomy for nesidioblastosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hematemesis

    We describe a case of a young, white male who presented with complaints of hematemesis and melena 18 years following subtotal pancreatectomy for nesidioblastosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Thrombosis

    Splenic vein thrombosis resulting in gastric variceal hemorrhage has not been a previously reported complication from 95% pancreatectomy for this indication. A case is presented and the management of this unusual complication discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Suggestibility

    This case and other evidence from the literature suggest that hyperplasia and neoplasia may occur sequentially in the pancreas, and that endocrine and exocrine tumorigenesis may be linked in some individuals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Drop Attacks

    One patient underwent an approximately 80% pancreatectomy with good results but subsequently experienced recurrent drop attacks and fainting from hyperinsulinism; a completion pancreatectomy via a pancreaticoduodenectomy was then required. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Both cases underwent partial pancrectomy and splenectomy after workup. The histology of the first case was consistent with insulinoma, while the second case was that of nesidioblastosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On workup, she was found to be hypoglycemic, with serum glucose values between 32 and 50 mg/dL. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a nodule arising from the corpus of the pancreas, which was slightly enhanced, measuring 1.0 cm in diameter. [enets.org]

The preoperative workup included triple-phase contrast islet cell protocol CT scan of abdomen, endoscopic ultrasound of pancreas, 72-hr fast, and calcium stimulated selective arteriography. [sages.org]

A 72-hour fast was performed, but the blood glucose level never fell below 2.8 mmol/L (50 mg/dL), and no further workup was attempted at that time. [jamanetwork.com]

  • Mediastinal Mass

    Here, we report a case of a 12-year-old male who presented with pleural effusion and was revealed to have a large anterior mediastinal mass. Biopsy of the mass revealed benign mature teratoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Anterior Mediastinal Mass

    Here, we report a case of a 12-year-old male who presented with pleural effusion and was revealed to have a large anterior mediastinal mass. Biopsy of the mass revealed benign mature teratoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Gastric Varices

    Splenic vein thrombosis resulting in gastric variceal hemorrhage has not been a previously reported complication from 95% pancreatectomy for this indication. A case is presented and the management of this unusual complication discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pleural Effusion

    Here, we report a case of a 12-year-old male who presented with pleural effusion and was revealed to have a large anterior mediastinal mass. Biopsy of the mass revealed benign mature teratoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment involves maintaining normal blood glucose levels; treatment modalities include high glucose infusion rates, use of medications, and surgical intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSION: These rare paediatric tumours appear to have a good prognosis, even when malignant, and respond well to radical surgical ablation. Adjuvant therapy appears to be unnecessary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Nesidioblastosis depends upon the severity of the signs and symptoms. [dovemed.com]

Thus, it is essential to determine the cause of OHS and to apply the surgical cure method during the preoperational period, thereby improving the long-term prognosis. [enets.org]

Most cases of nesidioblastosis have good prognosis. Causes And Risk Factors For Nesidioblastosis The exact etiology of nesidioblastosis of pancreas is obscure. This disease can occur since birth or may develop later in life. [tandurust.com]

Severe, persistent hypoglycemia can have various etiologies; one of the most common causes is hyperinsulinism. Nesidioblastosis, although rare, is the most common cause of hyperinsulinism in the neonate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This population may especially benefit from this novel assay to confirm complete resection and to differentiate multiple etiologies of hyperinsulinism. More About This Work Academic Units Surgery Published Here September 9, 2014 [academiccommons.columbia.edu]

SLE may also present with hypoglycemia by production of anti‐insulin antibodies, but in this case nesidioblastosis was the confirmed etiology. [shmabstracts.com]

Most common cause of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in neonates Synonym(s): noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia (NIPHS); persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI); congenital hyperinsulinism; islet cell hyperplasia Epidemiology [unboundmedicine.com]

The article reviews the pathophysiology and treatment modalities for nesidioblastosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although it is well-described in infants, the pathophysiology in adults is poorly understood. Aim(s): From our review of the literature, we believe that this is the second reported case of localized nesidioblastosis in an adult. [enets.org]

In such a patient, diazoxide or, when it is of no avail, surgical intervention should promptly be instituted to prevent possible neurologic sequelae induced by hypoglycemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
