Hypoglycaemia in the post-operative period is mainly iatrogenic (related to anti-hyperglycaemic drugs), but can be explained by an endogenous hyperinsulinemic state. In the context of previous gastrointestinal surgery, a form of dumping syndrome can mask hypoglycaemia from an underlying cause, such as an insulinoma. The authors present a clinical case of a male patient who underwent oesophageal surgery for an oesophago-gastric junction adenocarcinoma and developed hypoglycaemic symptoms in the post-operative period, caused by an undiagnosed insulinoma. This case report portraits the diagnostic investigation of a hypoglycaemia state in the post-operative period, narrowing to the workup of an endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia and provides a summary of insulinoma’s treatment. An insulinoma should always be considered in a patient with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia, even with a history of oesophago-gastric surgery.

Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia is the most common cause of recurrent hypoglycaemia. Neonatal hypoglycemia, is a heterogeneous disorder with plasma glucose level of less than 30mg/dL in first 24hrs of life and less than 40mg/dL thereafter, is the most common metabolic cause in newborns. The most important feature of neurologic dysfunction in neonatal period is the occurrence of seizures which can be due to metabolic disorders, genetic disorders, intracranial infections, malformation syndromes, benign neonatal seizures, hemorrhage. Here, we provide a description of a 2 months old infant with Persistent Hypoglycemia and Seizures, treated with hypoglycemic management and antiepileptic drugs

Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) is a rare cause of hypoglycaemia, characterised by recurrent hypoglycaemic episodes secondary to insulin autoantibodies in individuals who are not exposed to exogenous insulin. We are reporting a case of IAS in a 64-year-old gentleman, who presented with predominant postprandial hypoglycaemic episodes. On biochemical evaluation, he was found to have hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia. Localisation studies with MRI abdomen and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were negative for pancreatic tumour. Tests sent for insulin antibody levels were elevated. The patient was treated with frequent meals, acarbose and glucocorticoids. Patient condition improved and did not experience hypoglycaemia on follow-up.
