Abstract

We refer about an infant with transitory hyperinsulinism who first developed symptoms at the age of nine month treated with diazoxide. The therapy was successfully discontinued at the age of twenty-one month. The follow-up until the age of 38 month revealed a normal growing up and a normal neurological development. The main cause of hypoglycaemia are discussed referring the different cases of hyperinsulinism of the recent literature.
