VIPoma: Stages of Treatment at Top Ihilov Medical Center
VIPoma is a serious condition, and the patient is indicated for surgery to remove the tumour along with part of the pancreas. Before the surgical intervention, infusion therapy is mandatory to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes.

VIPoma: Diagnosis at Top Ihilov Medical Center
VIPoma (Werner-Morrison syndrome) is a tumour that most often affects the pancreas. Half of the cases are malignant. VIPoma produces an excessive amount of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). The pathology provokes the development of hypokalemia, achlorhydria, and watery diarrhea syndrome. The disease is complex and threatens the patient's life.
A comparative analysis of stool and plasma is of great importance for diagnosis. The same osmolarity is observed. The main examination methods are:
- Laboratory blood tests (electrolyte levels);
- VIP serum analysis;
- Endoscopic ultrasound;
- Scintigraphy;
- MRI;
- CT;
- PET;
- Arteriography.
In addition to special studies, the patient undergoes traditional assessments to evaluate their overall condition before surgical treatment.
