https://doi.org/10.14341/probl11521
Abstract
The rate of misdiagnosis of epilepsy was analyzed in 87 patients with organic hyperinsulinism (OH), which indicated that 83% of them were diagnosed as having epilepsy and had been receiving ineffective therapy with anticonvulsants (ACs) for 1 to 8years. The deteriorated course of OH was found with the use of the therapeutic doses of basic ACs. There was an extremely rare combination of epilepsy and OH (a single case has been described).
