While hypoglycemia simulating other diseases is now reported with rising frequency, little has been written on the coexistence of spontaneous hypoglycemia with other conditions of similar symptomatology. In this paper we should like to present observations on spontaneous hypoglycemia associated with electrocerebral dysfunction and hypocalcemia. Because of the similarity of the clinical picture in all three conditions the recognition of their coexistence appears to be of clinical importance.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A group of 8 patients presenting symptoms usually observed in psychoneurosis, spontaneous hypoglycemia or hypocalcemia were studied.
