| Abstract |
Insulinoma associated with pregnancy is a very rare condition and can be difficult to diagnose. Here, we present an interesting case of insulinoma occurring during pregnancy with special attention paid to the use of a continuous glucose monitoring system to detect hypoglycemia. A 36-year-old white woman in the second trimester of pregnancy presented with recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia associated with neuroglycopenic symptoms. The use of a continuous glucose monitoring system confirmed hypoglycemia. Serum insulin, C-peptide, and proinsulin values confirmed endogenous hyperinsulinism. A tumor mass was localized at the tail of her pancreas by endoscopic ultrasound and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Surgery performed at 21 weeks of gestation by distal pancreatectomy confirmed the presence of a 15 mm diameter endocrine tumor at the tail of her pancreas and led to a cure. Hypoglycemia during pregnancy could be due to insulinoma. Use of a continuous glucose monitoring system could help to detect hypoglycemia in these patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 May 2017.
All research outputs
#14,931,166
of 22,965,074 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#1,372
of 3,939 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#183,898
of 309,877 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#25
of 89 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,965,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,939 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 309,877 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 89 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
