Abstract

The neurologic development of 90 patients with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was studied retrospectively at Hospitalier Universitaire Necker-Enfants Malades, Paris, France.

Highlights

  • The neurologic development of 90 patients with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was studied retrospectively at Hospitalier Universitaire Necker-Enfants Malades, Paris, France

  • A standardized neurologic examination at approximately 1 year of age in an infant suffering hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy at birth is a useful measure of functional motor outcome in later infancy and early childhood

  • The correlation between an early EEG and an MRI in assessing outcome of acute neonatal encephalopathy was studied in 25 full-term infants treated at Hammersmith Hospital, London, UK. (Biagioni E, Mercuri E, Rutherford M et al Pediatrics March 2001;107:461-468)

Summary

Introduction

The neurologic development of 90 patients with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was studied retrospectively at Hospitalier Universitaire Necker-Enfants Malades, Paris, France. A standardized neurologic examination at approximately 1 year of age in an infant suffering hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy at birth is a useful measure of functional motor outcome in later infancy and early childhood. Prognostic value of EEG and MRI combined in full-term infants with acute encephalopathy. The correlation between an early EEG (within 72 hours after birth) and an MRI (end of 1 week) in assessing outcome of acute neonatal encephalopathy was studied in 25 full-term infants treated at Hammersmith Hospital, London, UK.
