Treatment and Follow-up in a Case with Diazoxide Treatment-Resistant Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycaemia
Journal Title: The Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) is the most common reason for persistent and recurrent hypoglycemia in the neonatal and infancy periods. We presented a case diagnosed with HH on the first day of life and who underwent near-total pancreatectomy because of the unresponsiveness to the diazoxide treatment. Despite early diagnosis and management, complications developed due to hypoglycemia and surgery.
