Congenital hyperinsulinism

open access: yesMedicina (Lithuania), 2014
Hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of hypoglycemia in infants. In many cases conservative treatment is not effective and surgical intervention is required. Differentiation between diffuse and focal forms and localization of focal lesions are the most important issues in preoperative management.

The surgical management of atypical forms of congenital hyperinsulinism

open access: yesSeminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2011
Beyond the 2 classical forms of congenital hyperinsulinism, focal and diffuse, we report our experience on the surgical treatment of atypical forms. We define 2 subtypes among these atypical forms of hyperinsulinism: in case of a giant focal form the ...

Neonatal Hyperinsulinism

Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1999
Hypoglycemia as a result of hyperinsulinism in the newborn (HI) is a clinically heterogeneous entity that presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the treating physician. Recent discoveries have shown that mutations in four different beta-cell genes cause HI.

THE ENCEPHALOPATHY OF HYPERINSULINISM

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1949
1. A case of severe hyperinsulinism in a juvenile diabetic is reported in which unconsciousness was produced for over 72 hours. 2. Emphasis is placed on the unreliability of the urine as an initial diagnostic indicator in coma seen during the course of extremely labile diabetes mellitus. 3. Globin insulin, in large doses, is shown to have a cumulative,

Congenital Hyperinsulinism

NeoReviews, 2021
Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) is fairly common in neonates, particularly those born to diabetic mothers and those who are either large or small for gestational age. Immediate management of the disease focuses on achieving normoglycemia through frequent high-calorie feedings and/or intravenous glucose administration.

Congenital hyperinsulinism

Early Human Development, 2010
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI or HI) is a condition leading to recurrent hypoglycemia due to an inappropriate insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet beta cells. HI has two main characteristics: a high glucose requirement to correct hypoglycemia and a responsiveness of hypoglycemia to exogenous glucagon.

Hyperinsulinism in the Neonate

Clinics in Perinatology, 2018
Hyperinsulinism (HI) is the leading cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infants. Prompt recognition and treatment, independent of whether infants have transient or permanent HI, are essential to decrease risk of neurologic damage. The most common form of congenital HI is due to inactivating mutations of the β-cell ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel

Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Pediatric Annals, 2017
Congenital hyperinsulinism is a rare disorder that commonly presents in the immediate postnatal period as persistent hypoglycemia. The condition is frequently resistant to medical therapies, and the genetic mutations implicated in the disorder can be predictive of response to therapy.
