We present a case of hyperexcitability syndrome observed in a neonate born to a mother who was a heavy user of cocoa and chocolate during pregnancy and lactation. The infant presented jitteriness, irritability, inconsolable crying, excessive sucking, and sleeping difficulties almost immediately after birth. The infant underwent extensive diagnostic studies, but none of the usual causes for its symptoms were identified. The symptoms resolved after the interruption of maternal chocolate consumption. We hypothesize that the heavy exposure to chocolate could be responsible for the hyperexcitability syndrome.
我们报告一例新生儿的兴奋性增高综合征，其母亲在孕期和哺乳期大量食用可可和巧克力。该婴儿出生后几乎立即出现了震颤、易激惹、难以安抚的哭闹、过度吸吮和睡眠困难。婴儿接受了广泛的诊断检查，但未发现其症状的常见病因。在母亲停止食用巧克力后，症状得到缓解。我们推测，大量接触巧克力可能是导致兴奋性增高综合征的原因。
