Introduction: 80–90% of insulinomas are smaller than 2 cm, equally located in the head, body and tail of pancreas. Computer tomography (CT) is 75%, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is 55–90%, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is 85–95% and selective arterial calcium stimulation test (SACST) is 95–100% sensitive in the diagnosis of insulinomas. Here, we presented two cases of insulinoma which could not be located by conventional methods and evaluated with SAC...

Background: Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the gold standard diagnostic approach for differentiating unilateral from bilateral primary aldosteronism (PA). However, it is a costly, invasive, and operator-dependent procedure with restricted availability.Objectives: It was aimed to develop a prediction model based on a simple clinical score with prominent parameters from the current literature for the subtype diagnosis of PA. The contribution of adrenal v...
