We performed transumbilical portal vein catheterization and sampled portal blood selectively to carry out immunoreactive insulin (IRI) analyses in a 7-month-old girl with hypoglycemia. The IRI concentration was highest in the mid-portion of the splenic vein. Although no tumor was found at surgery, 70 per cent of the caudal pancreas was resected above the superior mesenteric vein to a point determined by preoperative investigations. Pathologic examination of the resected specimen indicated nesidioblastosis. There have been no postoperative hypoglycemic symptoms. Our technique is efficacious in reaching a diagnosis of infantile hypoglycemia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
