我们介绍了一位 30 岁尼日利亚女士的临床病程和治疗中的问题，她在妊娠前三个月因胰岛细胞肿瘤（胰岛素瘤）而因空腹低血糖入院。她的病例最初被误诊为特发性癫痫。结果是致命的，主要是因为患者较差的临床状态限制了我们的治疗选择。这种情况虽然不常见，但只要高度怀疑，就可能很容易识别和治疗。
We present the clinical course and problems in the management of a 30 year old Nigerian lady who was admitted with fasting hypoglycaemia due to a pancreatic islet cell tumour (insulinoma) during the first trimester of pregnancy. Her case was initially misdiagnosed as idiopathic epilepsy. The outcome was fatal mainly because the poor clinical state of the patient limited our treatment options. This condition though uncommon, is potentially easily recognisable and treatable, as long as there is a high index of suspicion.
