It is a rare tumor with and incidence of only 4 cases per million developing every year. Other signs and symptoms include shakes, nervousness, vomiting, pulses, perspiration, and neuroglycopenic signs like migraine, vertigo, loss of vision, tiredness, loss of vision, amnesia, uncertainty, or convulsions. Anesthetic management aims to regulate irregular blood glucose levels as well as blood pressure. The authors present anesthetic management of two cases in this case report and discuss the consequences of insulinoma and the risks and their management during anesthesia.
