Frequent falls and confusion: recurrent hypoglycemia in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex

Clin Case Rep. 2018 Mar 24;6(5):904-909. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1483. eCollection 2018 May.

Abstract

Recurrent hypoglycemia is common, but its presentation is often insidious resulting in delays in diagnosis and significant morbidity. We describe a case of an insulinoma presenting with falls and confusion in a patient with tuberous sclerosis, demonstrating the importance of early hypoglycemia identification and a potential shared molecular pathogenesis.

Keywords: Confusion; falls; hypoglycemia; insulinoma; tuberous sclerosis complex.
