Abstract:

Nesidioblastosis is a rare condition among adults, affecting between 0.5 and 5.0% of the age range, producing persistent organic hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Postprandial hypoglycemia is a common clinical presentation, and because there is no clinical context or very specific examination, the preoperative diagnosis is difficult and requires exclusion criteria. We describe a 47-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with neoblastosis in 2014 following repeated episodes of unconsciousness that had nothing to do with fasting. Following the failure of previous operations, the patient was submitted to Frey’s approach. The patient’s endocrine issue was successfully resolved by the chosen approach, which also had no negative effects on the gastrointestinal system.
