Cyclic menses in a preterm infant

Giraudo Franco , Griffero Mariana , M Merino Paulina , Fernando Cassorla

Introduction: Minipuberty describes the transient sex-specific activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis during the first 2 years in girls. Data in preterm are scarce, but It seems that the HPG axis activation is more intense and prolonged compared with full-term infants, resulting in higher sex steroid concentrations, sometimes with extreme pubertal characteristics.Clinical case: A female infant presen...

Thybo Christesen Henrik , Kjærsgaard Hansen Lars , Brusgaard Klaus

Background: Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare malformation and disability syndrome, associated with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) in 0.3-4%. Whereas CHI may be the overt already from day one of life, the median age at KS diagnosis is 11-16 months.Methods: Case reportResults: A term-born girl, birth weight 4550 g had unexpected hypoglycemia 1.8 mmol/L (32 mg/dL) day one of life with...

Machado Pinto Renata , Mendonça Macedo Rafael , Adib Nery Aboud Arthur , Ferreira Matos Arthur , Menezes de Lima Filho Eduardo , Caetano Diniz Gabriel

"Developmental Programming" (DP) refers to the long-term health effect determined by environmental exposures during the child's first 1000 days. This study aimed to determine pregnant women's knowledge about DP and compare the degree of knowledge with clinical and sociodemographic variables. This research is a cross-sectional, descriptive study carried out through a questionnaire applied to pregnant women. Statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS 26...

Two cases of diffuse forms of diazoxide-responsive congenital hyperinsulinism with positive PET-CT findings

Yu Jeesuk , Yang Jaejin , Joo Son Hye

Congenital hyperinsulinism is one of the most common causes of severe hypoglycemia in infants. Case 1. A 9-year-old girl had her first hypoglycemic seizure at the age of 65 days. Her blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, cortisol, and ammonia levels were 42 mg/dL, 37.14U/mL, 4.20 ng/mL, 21.85 mg/dL and 54 mg/dL, respectively. Diazoxide was started and she was referred to our Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic at 9 months. Genetic investigation, including whole exome sequencing, did n...

Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1, a diagnosis of difficult clinical suspicion. Case report.

Acosta-Rodríguez Ariana , Mendoza-Rojas Victor

Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) is a rare heterogeneous mineralocorticoid resistance syndrome caused by insufficient potassium and hydrogen secretion. PHA type1 (PHA1) causes neonatal salt loss, failure to thrive, dehydration, and circulatory shock. Two different forms of PHA1 can be distinguished on the clinical and genetic levels, showing either a systemic or a renal form. We present an infant with a clinical diagnosis of PHA1. A male 39-week newborn, presented on postnatal-da...
