A now 10 month old female infant suffered from persistent non ketotic neonatal hypoglycemia despite continuous intravenous application of glucose (greater than 10 mg/kg/min). There was only a transient response of blood glucose after intravenous administration of glucagon and prednisolon.
Eight patients with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy who were treated with octreotide without pancreatectomy are described. All had severe, early-onset disease that would have required partial pancreatectomy had octreotide not been available. Along with octreotide, frequent
We report the case of a patient with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type Ib who developed normally until 3 months of age, when she was referred to the hospital for evaluation of hypoglycemia that was found to be related to hyperinsulinism. She also had vomiting episodes, hepatomegaly,
This paper describes severe hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia during bolus enteral feeding in two neurologically impaired children. Both children were affected by dysphagia with swallowing difficulties; caloric intake was inadequate. For these reasons, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy had been
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CH) is a rare disease, characterized by severe hypoglycemia induced by inappropriate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells in neonate and infant. Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is also a rare disease in which infants show severe bowel movement disorder. For long-term tube feeding in children, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has the advantages of a short surgical time, early feeding following surgery, and lower rate of complications. From July 2000 to September 2002, we enrolled fifteen children (mean age: 8.2 years old) who underwent PEG
A 3-month-old male intact Shiba Inu dog was evaluated for a seizure disorder initially deemed idiopathic in origin. Seizure frequency remained unchanged despite therapeutic serum phenobarbital concentration and use of levetiracetam. The dog was documented to be markedly hypoglycemic during a seizure
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a well-recognized manifestation of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in the newborn--a condition that often requires surgical intervention for infarcted bowel. However, little information is available concerning PI in older children or its management. Sixteen older
