Popis: Abstract Advances in genomics and 18F‐DOPA PET‐CT imaging have transformed the management of infants with Congenital Hyperinsulinism. Preoperative diagnosis of focal hyperinsulinism permits limited pancreatectomy with improved clinical outcomes while knowledge of the molecular etiology informs genetic counseling and provides a more accurate recurrence risk to families.
