Abstract
- Trisomy 13 (T13) was first described by Patau et al. in 1960. It is generally considered to be lethal. It affects many systems. A review of the literature of T13 revealed four cases of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH). It has never been associated with adrenomegaly. In this presentation, the association of adrenomegaly and hyperinsulinemia in a newborn with T13 is reported. A baby girl was born at the 40th week of pregnancy. Due to respiratory distress and dysmorphic features she was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. During the follow-up in a patient, adrenomegaly and hyperinsulinemia were detected. According to reported cases in the literature, HH may rarely accompany T13. However, it has never been associated with adrenomagaly and transient HH. Our case is presented as a contribution to the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
