 Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is an uncommon genetic disorder marked by excessive and uncontrolled insulin release from the pancreas's β-cells, resulting in severe and persistent hypoglycemia. Up to 14 known genetic factors contribute to CHI, while in some cases, CHI is a part of a broader syndrome. The primary cause of severe CHI is typically a mutation in the ABCC8 and KCNJ11 genes. In rarer instances, genetic anomalies affecting the regulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells can lead to CHI. Since CHI is present from birth, symptoms typically manifest within the first few days of life. Hypoglycemic symptoms encompass floppiness, trembling, feeding difficulties, and drowsiness stemming from low blood sugar levels. Seizures can also occur due to low blood sugar. Loss of consciousness and potential brain injury are possible outcomes without prompt correction of the child's blood glucose levels. Medical treatment using diazoxide or octreotide is employed for ...
