Beta-adrenerjik reseptor bloke edici olan propranolol, gebelik döneminde de hipertansiyon için sık kullanılan ilaçlardandır. Ancak fetus ve yenidoğanlarda propranolole bağlı ciddi yan etkiler bildirildiğinden, gebelikte kullanımıyla ilgili çelişkiler vardır. Burada hastanemizde dirençli hipoglisemi nedeniyle tedavi edilen ve etyolojisi araştırıldığında annelerinin gebeliğin son üç ayı içerisinde uzun süreli beta adrenerjik bloke edici ilaç (propranalol) kullandığı saptanan iki yenidoğan sunulmaktadır. Her iki olgu apne, bradıkardi ve oksijen satürasyonunda düşme nedeniyle yenidoğan servisimize yatırılarak izlenmiş, klinik tablonun hipoglisemiye sekonder geliştiği anlaşılmış, dirençli hipoglisemileri, nedeniyle uzun süreli (9/15 gün) yüksek glukoz infüzyonu (22 mg/kg/dk) ve olgulardan birinde ek olarak metil prednisolon (2 mg/kg/gün) tedavisi gerekmiştir. Bu iki olgu nedeniyle gebe ve emziren annelerde ilaç tedavilerinin bebekte oluşturacağı yan etkiler düşünülerek dikkatli seçim yapılması gerektiği, gebelikte beta-blokör kullanan annelerden doğan bebeklerin doğum sonrası yakın izlenmesi gerektiği düşünülmüştür. Propranolol kullanan gebelerin bebeklerinde olası yan etkilerin erken tedavisi, uzun dönemde oluşabilecek komplikasyonların önlenmesi açısından önemlidir. Yenidoğanlarda dirençli hipoglisemi varlığında öyküde annenin kullandığı ilaçların dikkatlice sorgulanması, etyolojinin belirlenmesinde önem taşımaktadır.
Propranolol, one of the beta-adrenergic blocking agents, has an important role in the practice of general medicine and pregnancy induced hypertension. However, its use in pregnant women with pregnancy induced hypertension is contradictary, owing to a number of detrimental side effects that have been reported in the fetus and neonate. In this report, we reported two neonates with refractory hypoglycemia whose mothers have been treated with propranolol during gestation. Both newborns were admitted to our hospital due to cyanosis and determined hypoglycemia and apnea. They were treated with high glucose infusion (22 mg/kg/minute) and one of them required methyl- prednisolone therapy (2 mg/kg/day). We suggest that the women during pregnancy and lactation should be carefully treated, and the mode of therapy should be carefully determined due to possible fetal and neonatal side effects. The neonates born to mothers treated with betaadrenergic blocking agents (i.e. propranolol) during gestation should be closely monitored for hypoglisemia after delivery. Early treatment of possible side effects are important for beter longterm outcome. The history of maternal propranolol use should be carefully questioned in the neonates with refractory hypoglycemia

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
