title: A patient with insulinoma presenting for psychiatric assessment.
abstract: A case of insulinoma referred for psychiatric assessment illustrates the need for a high index of suspicion of organic mental disorder even in patients who have undergone previous extensive medical investigation. The diagnostic difficulties illustrate the need for persistence and cooperation between specialists in such cases.
