Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare condition (1:400,000 neonates) defined as hyperglycemia occurring in the first months of life, lasting more than 2 wk and requiring insulin for management. We here report on a 33-month-old girl with pancreatic agenesis, an extremely rare cause of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM). Timely diagnosis and adequate treatment of both endocrine and exocrine insufficiency may permit survival and normal development.

Pearson-Chi Square revealed a significant relationship between abnormal EEG and the development of further seizures (p<0.01). The odds of having further seizures if the EEG was abnormal was 4.9 (95% C.I 1.5-16.1). Conclusions Sleep EEG is a useful tool in predicting the risk of developing epilepsy in children with first afebrile seizure.
