Persistent neonatal hypoglycemia: an unusual finding of congenital hypothyroidism.
We report a newborn infant who has congenital hypothyroidism associated with profound and persistent neonatal hypoglycemia. Persistent and marked hypoglycemia has not been previously reported in congenital hypothyroidism to our knowledge. The cause of this condition may be reduced glyconeogenesis or insulin clearance.
