Presentation
In this paper, we present two siblings with TBX19 gene mutation. The first case was investigated at the age of 2 months for severe hypoglycemia, recurrent convulsions, and prolonged cholestatic jaundice persisting since the neonatal period. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These infants often present with hypoglycemia, failure to thrive, hepatomegaly, and lactic acidosis. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Entire Body System
- Asymptomatic
However, controversy remains surrounding its definition and management especially in asymptomatic patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The level of blood glucose at which treatment is recommended in asymptomatic babies is unclear. Blood glucose levels as low as 30 mg/dL in the first 1–2 hours after birth in asymptomatic babies may not be harmful. [babygooroo.com]
Asymptomatic hypoglycemic (blood glucose level Results: Dextrose gel with feeds increased the blood glucose level in 184/250 (74%) of asymptomatic hypoglycemic infants compared to 144/248 (58%) with feeds only (p < 0.01). [karger.com]
- Sepsis
Finally, hypoglycemia can be due to malposition of an umbilical catheter or sepsis. [msdmanuals.com]
Except for one patient, all patients had prenatal and perinatal problems including prematurity, perinatal hypoxia, intrauterine growth retardation, sepsis, indirect hyperbilirubinemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Hypothermia
Hypothermia is defined by the World Health Organization as a core temperature < 36.5° C (97.7° F). In premature infants, hypothermia increases morbidity and mortality. [merckmanuals.com]
Factors which increase the risk of hypoglycemia • Various factors which increase the risk of hypoglycemia are hypothermia & cold Stress, cold environment, wet baby and inadequate feeding. 6. [slideshare.net]

- Hepatomegaly
Mild hepatomegaly and was found in two patients (P6, P12) and 3 patients had microcephaly at diagnosis (P6, P11, P12). No facial dysmorphic features were specified in the medical records. [latunisiemedicale.com]
Other causes of skin pigmentation - eg, jaundice (also affects the sclerae) and haemochromatosis (more of a bronze colour, may be associated with hepatomegaly and possibly splenomegaly). [patient.info]

Patients with CHH are mostly LGA, as a consequence of hyperinsulinism, but without significant hepatomegaly. [intechopen.com]
The infant was referred to a pediatric endocrinologist, who noted that the infant’s weight was approaching the 90th percentile, there was definite hepatomegaly, and the infant appeared “apathetic.” [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

Infants who are hypotensive or hypoxemic or those who are hypoventilated, in septic shock, or asphyxiated rely on anaerobic metabolism for energy, which is less efficient and metabolizes more glucose than do aerobic conditions. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Preterm, very-low-birth weight infants treated with hydrocortisone have an increased risk of spontaneous perforation of the gastrointestinal tract.33 In addition, glucocorticoids may unnecessarily elevate blood pressure in patients without hypotension [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Psychiatrical
- Withdrawn
Infants of diabetic mothers have hyperinsulinemia caused by high maternal glucose levels; they may develop transient hypoglycemia after birth, when maternal glucose is withdrawn. [msdmanuals.com]
After randomization eight participants were withdrawn, mainly because they declined to participate in the trial. Data were analysed for 38 participants at the end of the trial. [cochranelibrary.com]

Seizure frequency was maximum during infancy and early childhood and decreased thereafter with no seizure in 2 patients, a few seizures a year in 3, and once a month in 1. All patients had status epilepticus in the early course of epilepsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Seizures developed later, before age 2 years, in 12; these were infantile spasms in 3, generalized in 2, focal in 1, associated with recurrent hypoglycemia in 1, and unspecified in 2 children. Febrile seizures occurred in 3 infants. [pediatricneurologybriefs.com]

Activating mutations of glucokinase (GCK) ( Fig. 1 ), the “glucose sensor” of the β-cell, are rare and, depending on the mutation, may cause fasting hypoglycemia in varying degrees at varying ages of life ( 8 ). [diabetes.diabetesjournals.org]
On biological investigations, hypoglycemias occurred both in the fed and fasting state and was asymptomatic in most patients although it was severe. Refractor hypoglycemias were noted in all neonatal onset patients. [latunisiemedicale.com]
Treatment
These treatments, though effective at treating hypoglycemia, interrupt exclusive breastfeeding and interfere with mother-infant bonding. Our institution developed a treatment algorithm for newborns at risk for neonatal hypoglycemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
This study indicates neonatal hypoglycemia may cause posterior cerebral lesions, abnormal findings at neurologic examination, and symptomatic epilepsy, most frequently occipital lobe epilepsy, usually with a good prognosis, and occasionally epileptic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
(See Prognosis.) Causes of hypoglycemia in neonates differ slightly from those in older infants and children. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis The prognosis is good, providing there is early recognition. Co-ordination between surgeons and radiotherapists is important. Postoperative aftercare, with adequate long-term monitoring and replacement of hormones, is vital. [patient.info]
Etiology
Etiology of neonatal hypoglycemia: We also investigated possible underlying etiologies of neonatal hypoglycemia in present study. Based on our findings, the most frequent cause of hypoglycemia was prematurity. [scialert.net]
The etiology of this pattern of injury is unclear; however, transient hyperinsulinism may be an independent risk factor. Magnetic resonance brain imaging can delineate the extent of brain injury and guide follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
(See Etiology.) Causes of hypoglycemia found in all ages include gram-negative sepsis, endotoxin shock, and ingestions, including of salicylates, alcohol, hypoglycemic agents, or beta-adrenergic blocking agents. [emedicine.medscape.com]
