Management of patients with Zollinger-Ellison syn drome differs markedly from management of patients with idiopathic gastric acid hypersecretion or routine peptic ulcer disease. Because of the possible complica tions arising from gastric acid hypersecretion or from complications caused by the gastrinoma itself, patients with these disorders frequently present to critical care physicians. It is important that critical care physicians be familiar with the acute presentation of patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome as well as the appropriate treatment. We review the important points pertaining to the recognition and treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syn drome in the acute care setting.
