An Infant With Neonatal Diabetes and Double Outlet Right Ventricle - Wolcott- Rallison syndrome

Ketoacidosis in Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus, Part of Wolcott-Rallison Syndrome

BACKGROUND Neonatal diabetes mellitus is a rare condition and it is important to differentiate it from other causes, such as hyperglycemia in infancy, for better outcomes. We report a case of an infant who presented to our neonatal intensive care unit in ketoacidosis and a comatose state.

Neonatal diabetes in Wolcott–Rallison syndrome: a case report

Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the association of permanent neonatal or early-infancy insulin-dependent diabetes, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and growth retardation, and other variable multisystem clinical manifestations. In the present study, we analyzed the EIF2AK3 gene in a 64 day-old-girl WRS patient and his parents to study the cli...

Fewer than 60 cases have been described in the literature, although WRS is now recognised as the most frequent cause of neonatal/early-onset diabetes in patients with consanguineous paren...
