Anesthesitic management for insulinoma resection in a patient having chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy

Abstract

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy associated with hypoglycemia 2 to insulinoma is unusual, and to our knowledge, very few patients have been reported in literature. Despite varying presentations in these patients, the clinical characteristics are usually the same. The syndrome usually occurs after several episodes of protracted hypoglycemia. The neuropathy is nearly always symmetrical. We report anesthetic management for a young female patient presenting with CIDP & repeated hypoglycemic episodes during a 2-year period scheduled for insulinoma enucleation.
