An Infant With Neonatal Diabetes and Double Outlet Right Ventricle - Wolcott- Rallison syndrome.

Medical Archives 2018 October
Introduction: Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder with infancy-onset diabetes mellitus, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, osteopenia, mental retardation or developmental delay, and hepatic and renal dysfunction as main clinical findings. Cardiovascular system is very rarely affected and there are a limited number of publications where WRS is associated with congenital heart disease. The aim of this interesting case is to report an infant with Wolcott - Rallison syndrome, type I diabetes mellitus, and complex congenital heart disease, diagnosed in a pre term neonate.

Case report: A case of preterm neonate who presented immediately after delivery with hyperglycemia and heart murmur. Clinical and laboratory investigation showed diabetes mellitus type I and double outlet right ventricle. Genetic examination showed classic mutations in the EIF2AK3 gene - eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α kinase 3. Conclusion: Diabetes in neonatal age raises doubts about the possibility of association with the syndrome and other diseases.
