[Prevention of carcinoid tumor crisis].
A case of the carcinoid tumour of ileum causing hormone producing multiple hepatic metastases was described. Sometimes after feeding and drinking of beer the "flush" and the diarrhoea appeared. Multiple hepatic metastases were established by ultrasound. Two and a half years ago the patient already was examined and treated by another hospital. In this time the origin of the primaer carcinoid tumour was not found and the superselective embolisation of the right lobe of the liver was made which caused a carcinoid crisis. Later the complaints were renewed and once more the patient was examined. The origin of the illness was proved in the lower ileum by CT (computer tomography), angiography and I131 MIBG (metajod-benzyl-guanidin) scintigraphy. Another embolisation of the liver caused a newer carcinoid crisis. The operation of primaer carcinoid tumour was decided because of the danger of carcinoid crisis and ileus. In the perioperative period the patient was protected against carcinoid crisis by Sandostatin (made in SANDOZ, Basel), because the preoperative therapy, the anaesthetics and the surgical manipulation could have caused a carcinoid crisis. In Hungary the authors used for the first time somatostatin in perioperative period to protect the patient against carcinoid crisis.
