ABSTRACT
We report a case of congenital hyperinsulinism with diffuse pancreatic abnormality diagnosed preoperatively by using [18-F]-L-DOPA positron emission tomography (PET). The infant was referred to us for recurrent hypoglycemia. Critical blood sample revealed increased insulin glucose ratio. DOPA PET scan revealed diffuse involvement of pancreas. Subtotal (95%) pancreatectomy was done. Infant remained euglycemic on breast feeds at discharge.
