Title: Long‐term Use of Somatostatin Analogue SMS 201–995 in the Treatment of Hypoglycaemia Due to Nesidioblastosis
Abstract: ABSTRACT. An infant presented with hypoglycaemia secondary to nesidioblastosis. Subtotal pancreatectomy failed to prevent recurrent post‐operative hypoglycaemia. Subcutaneous somatostatin analogue (SMS 201–995) was shown to increase the blood concentrations of glucose and B‐hydroxybutyrate while lowering serum insulin levels. Regular use of somatostatin analogue was helpful in long term management without causing significant side effects.
