[Neonatal hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinism secondary to Langerhans' polyadenomatosis. Recovery after pancreatectomy].

Report of a case of a neonatal hypoglycemia detected at the 11th hour of life, secondary to a Langherans polyadenomatosis in a girl with an hemihypertrophy. Pre- and post-operative tests are reported. In case of neonatal hypoglycemia, the criteria leading to the diagnosis of hyperinsulinism, i.e. the only neonatal hypoglycemia with surgical treatment are reviewed. Except in the case of adenoma, the pancreatectomy should be performed subtotally. The best time for surgery is as soon as the 3rd week, in order to preserve the cerebral development.
