Introduction: The annual incidence of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is 5 per million in admission with a diagnosis of isolated central diabetes insipidus (CDI) in children under the age of 15. Here, the process leading to the diagnosis of LCH at presentation with isolated CDI, imaging findings, and the sellar erosion, which has not been previously reported in the literature, will be discussed.Case presentation: A 4-year-5-month-old...

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) increases in parallel with obesity in childhood. T2DM can be associated with cardiovascular risk (CVR) even childhood.Objective: To investigate the presence of CVR criterions in children with T2DM and to detect CVR as the earliest age as possible.Method: This study enrolled 84 (58 Girls) children with T2DM. OGTT was performed in 47 children. Biochemical and hormonal analyses were performed in fast...

Objective: Hyperthyroidism is rarely seen in the childhood. In this study, we evaluated the reference sign and symptoms and following laboratory and treatment results of the hyperthyroidism cases.Method: Data of the 78 patients were extracted from hospital records retrospectively. Patients’ height, weight, BMI and laboratory results at the time of diagnosis are recorded. Antithyroid drug doses at the 2th, 6th, 12th months after diagnoses are compare...

Introduction: Automated insulin delivery systems provide significant improvement in the time in range(TIR) centered diabetes care. This study analyzes the real-word performance of Minimed 780G™system-Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop(AHCL) in children from a single center.Methods: Of the 93 children started to use AHCL between January 2021 and April 2022, 64 whose data could be accessed were included. 3,6,9 and 12 month-...

Background: Bronchiectasis is a result of recurrent pulmonary infections and chronic inflammation.Objective and hypotheses: Chronic inflammation may lead some endocrinological disorders. The consequences of the bronchiectasis on the endocrinological system and on the bone health in childhood were investigated in this study.Method: The medical records of the 64 children with bronchiectasis (32 females and 32 males) at the mean age o...

Background: Neonatal diabetes is a rare disease having usually a genetic origin. Defects in KCNJ11, ABCC8, INS, GCK, and PDX1 genes are more frequent and may lead non-transient, non-syndromic neonatal diabetes, whereas defects in PTF1A, FOXP3, EIF2AK3, GLIS3, RFX6, and NEUROD1 genes are very rare and may lead neonatal diabetes as a part of a syndrome.Objective and hypotheses: We present a patient with GLIS3 ge...

Background: Diagnosis and treatment of Cushing’s disease in children are challenging.Objective and hypotheses: Cabergolin is a long acting dopamine receptor agonist used for the treatment of patients with recurrent Cushing’s disease.Method: year-old female patient admitted to the hospital because of short stature, amenorrhea, facial and body hair growth, rapid weight gain, hair loss and excessive acne.<p class="abstex...

Introduction: With the development and use of automated insulin delivery (AID) technologies like Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL or Minimed 780G) system, it becomes possible to achieve tighter glycemic control. A new parameter called “Time in Tight Range” (TITR, 70-140 mg/dL) has been proposed to evaluate glycemic control in the latest consensus on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data in diabetes research. This study aims to assess...
