Abstract

A low-birth-weight term neonate born at 38 weeks 5days to non-diabetic primigravida mother by normal vaginal delivery with uneventful perinatal events presented with complaints of recurrent seizures on day two of life. Antenatal ultrasound scans showed features of early intrauterine growth restriction. The baby had jitteriness, poor activity and poor feeding. The mother gives a history of inadequate lactation. Routine new born blood screening showed reduced blood sugar levels with multiple readings in the range of 30-50mg/dl despite corrections. Metabolic investigations didn’t show any cause for hypoglycemia. EEG was normal.
