Diazoxide, hyperinsulinism and NEC

[Guest guankoh]

Dear colleagues,

I am a neonatologist who would be grateful for any help from your members.

We have a term baby with hyperinsulinism who was treated with diazoxide. A week later the baby developed bowel distension and bile stained vomits: at operation he had necrotising enterocolitis of the large intetines. I would be grateful to know if any of you have similar experiences.

kind regards

Hi Guan

Wondering if you got any replies from your initial query. We had a similar experience recently of a kid transferred in to us.

Like to hear more about your experience
