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]
- 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]

Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
An abnormality of circulating glucagon found in one child with this disorder suggested that hyperinsulinism may not be the sole hormonal imbalance present, but rather that this disease is one of generalized disturbance of islet cell function. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The authors conclude that the data they have collated from studies stretching back 40 years suggests that plasma glucose of 25 mg/dL (1.4 mmol/L) might be an operational lower threshold for possible permanent brain damage; their evidence suggests that [acutecaretesting.org]
The question mark following hexokinase I indicates that the current article suggests but has not proven this mutation to be responsible for the syndrome described. [diabetes.diabetesjournals.org]
Urogenital
- Polyuria
Signs: Polyuria due to glycosuria (rare if blood glucose < 250 mg/dL); intracranial hemorrhage if hyperglycemia occurs rapidly as a result of an abrupt increase in plasma glucose concentration, e.g., following an i.v. D25W or D50W glucose bolus. [uichildrens.org]
In all patients, enquire for symptoms of polyuria and polydypsia (due to diabetes insipidus), hypothyroidism and presence of galactorrhoea. In women, amenorrhoea may be the first sign of pituitary disease. [patient.info]
Neurologic
- Seizure
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]
- Lethargy
Adrenergic signs include diaphoresis, tachycardia, lethargy or weakness, and shakiness. Neuroglycopenic signs include seizure, coma, cyanotic episodes, apnea, bradycardia or respiratory distress, and hypothermia. [msdmanuals.com]
Some infants will display no obvious symptoms, while others will exhibit lethargy, apnea, a bluish hue to the skin, low body temperatures, jitters, and in severe cases, seizures. [thurswell.com]

- Headache
Occasionally, patients will also experience a headache as a result of the enlarging tumour. The raised levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone act on cells in the skin to increase pigmentation. [pituitary.org.uk]
Signs & Symptoms Symptoms of Nelson syndrome include intense skin pigmentation, headaches, visual field disturbances and the cessation of menstrual periods in females. [rarediseases.org]
This invasive tumor enlarges, often causing visual loss, pituitary failure and headaches. One key characteristic of Nelson's disease is dark skin pigmentation, resulting from the skin pigment cells responding to the release of ACTH. [pituitary.ucla.edu]
History - late presentation Headaches are common with pituitary tumours and are probably the result of stretching of the diaphragma sellae. [patient.info]
Although headaches are common and are probably due to stretching of the dura of the diaphragma sellae by the tumor, obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow is rare because this requires the tumor to be sufficiently large enough to obstruct the foramen [emedicine.medscape.com]
- Dizziness
Signs include Hunger Shakiness Dizziness Confusion Difficulty speaking Feeling anxious or weak In people with diabetes, hypoglycemia is often a side effect of diabetes medicines. Eating or drinking something with carbohydrates can help. [icdlist.com]
Other symptoms may be dizziness, tremulousness, sweating, and insomnia. [kmle.co.kr]
Medications that are currently used to induce tumour shrinkage include dopamine agonists and these can be associated with headaches, dizziness and gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation. [pituitary.org.uk]

For infants experiencing transient hypoglycemia, an extensive diagnostic workup is not necessary. If persistent hyperinsulinism is suspected, the diagnostic workup will include plasma insulin, β-hydroxybutyrate, and free fatty acid levels. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
- Hypoglycemia
Neonatal hypoglycemia is a leading cause of admission of neonates to the NICU. Typical treatment for neonatal hypoglycemia includes supplementation with formula or, in some cases, intravenous glucose administration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic problem in neonates. In children, a blood glucose value of less than 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) represents hypoglycemia. [emedicine.medscape.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]
