Abstract

The most frequent causes of hypoglycemia in the newborn are reviewed and the pertinent diagnosis procedures in order to establish its etiology are discussed apropose of a case of nesidioblastosis. Physiological considerations are made around the pancreatic insulin response to two stimuli: I.V. glucose and glucagon, used in the present case. The indication of subtotal pancreatectomy in the cases of severe hypoglycemia is re-examined.
