Abstract
An infant presented with hypoglycaemia secondary to nesidioblastosis. Subtotal pancreatectomy failed to prevent recurrent post-operative hypoglycaemia. Subcutaneous somatostatin analogue (SMS 201-995) was shown to increase the blood concentrations of glucose and B-hydroxybutyrate while lowering serum insulin levels. Regular use of somatostatin analogue was helpful in long term management without causing significant side effects.Entities:
