Comment on persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy

multiple pancreatectomies.[6] However, [18] F-dopa-PET scan can delineate the presence of such ectopic foci preoperatively and help in surgical excision of such lesions.We thought the above stated points are worth mentioning though the review specifically highlighted the current concepts in PHHI.These reports are preliminary but it is important for the treating medical-surgical teams to bear in mind these emerging potential drawbacks of preoperative PET scan and the coexistence of ectopic foci of nesidioblastosis.One should note that intraoperative histological confirmation is invariably needed in both these instances.Studies further characterizing persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy in Indian population are warranted.
