Zusammenfassung:Introduction: Diagnosing hypoglycemia in infants and children presents significant challenges. Our objective was to elucidate the diagnoses and clinical features of children with hypoglycemia referred to a pediatric endocrine tertiary clinic. Methods: Retrospective study of 154 children (0-18 years old) presenting with hypoglycemia, during 1992-2018. Results: The cohort was divided by clinical diagnosis into six groups: ketotic hypoglycemia (n=45, 29.2%), congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (n=35, 22.7%), transient hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (n=28, 18.2%), metabolic disorder (n=14, 9.1%), systemic disease/syndrome (n=15, 9.7%), and hormone deficiencies (n=8, 5.2%). Two patients had insulinoma and in 7 (4.5%) no diagnosis was elucidated. At diagnosis, 58 (37.7%) were
