Context:: Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is the most common cause of hypoglycemia in children. The risk of permanent brain injury in infants with HI continues to be as high as 25?50% due to delays in diagnosis and inadequate treatment. Congenital HI has been described since the birth of the JCEM under various terms, including ?idiopathic hypoglycemia of infancy,? ?leucine-sensitive hypoglycemia,? or ?nesidioblastosis.? Evidence Acquisition:: In the past 20 years, it has become apparent that HI is caused by genetic defects in the pathways that regulate pancreatic ?-cell insulin secretion. Evidence Synthesis:: There are now 11 genes associated with monogenic forms of HI (ABCC8, KCNJ11, GLUD1, GCK, HADH1, UCP2, MCT1, HNF4A, HNF1A, HK1, PGM1), as well as several syndromic genetic forms of HI (eg, Beckwith-Wiedemann, Kabuki, and Turner syndromes). HI is also the cause of hypoglycemia in transitional neonatal hypoglycemia and in persistent hypoglycemia in various groups of high-risk neonates (such as birth asphyxia, small for gestational age birthweight, infant of diabetic mother). Management of HI is one of the most difficult problems faced by pediatric endocrinologists and frequently requires difficult choices, such as near-total pancreatectomy and/or highly intensive care with continuous tube feedings. For 50 years, diazoxide, a KATP channel agonist, has been the primary drug for infants with HI; however, it is ineffective in most cases with mutations of ABCC8 or KCNJ11, which constitute the majority of infants with monogenic HI. Conclusions:: Genetic mutation testing has become standard of care for infants with HI and has proven to be useful not only in projecting prognosis and family counseling, but also in diagnosing infants with surgically curable focal HI lesions. 18F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA) PET scans have been found to be highly accurate for localizing such focal lesions preoperatively. New drugs under investigation provide hope for improving the outcomes of children with HI.
