Neuro Developmental Consequences of Neonatal Hypoglycemia

Abstract: Neonatal hypoglycemia (HG) can cause neurologic damage, epilepsy, mental retardation, behavioral and personality disorders and death. The longest the HG lasts and the greatest the glucose nadir the consequences are more pronounced.Comorbidities are rather important in development of neurological damage. Hypoxemia and ischemia can cause permanent brain damage. Small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA), intrauterine growth restriction, gestational age bellow the 37th week, low Apgar score,… Show more

“…In humans, hypoglycemia compromises brain structure [7] and function [11,12] and, if severe, white matter abnormalities are observed on brain magnetic resonance imaging [13]. The parietal and occipital lobes are the most commonly affected regions [7,11,12,14]. The hypoglycemia-induced cerebral injury may be sub-clinical or presents as neurologic dysfunctions, such as irritability, neurological deficits, seizure, coma and, ultimately, neuronal death with permanent long-term neurodevelopmental impairment [8,[15][16][17].…”
