The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the probenecid-sensitive organic acid transporter is responsible for the short duration of action of a new group of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor glycine(B)-site antagonists, MRZ 2/570, 2/571, and 2/576. A prolongation of their anticonvulsant
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the clinical features and SLC25A13 gene mutations of a child with citrin deficiency complicated with purpura, convulsive seizures and methioninemia.
METHODS
The patient was subjected to physical examination and routine laboratory tests. Blood amino acids and acylcarnitines, and
Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is an inherited neurometabolic disease complicated by precipitation of acute encephalopathic crises during a vulnerable period of brain development. These crises result in bilateral striatal damage and subsequently a dystonic dyskinetic movement disorder. In
OBJECTIVE
To obtain and assess opinions on EMAS diagnostic criteria, recommended investigations, and therapeutic options, from a large group of physicians who care for children with EMAS.
METHODS
The EMAS focus group of PERC created a survey to assess the opinions of pediatric neurologists who care
Primary hyperoxaluria is a congenital innate error of the metabolism of the amino acids, that is transmitted like an autosomal recessive character. Two types of hyperoxaluria exist: the primary type I, that corresponds to the peroxisomal enzymatic deficit of the alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase
This study reports a boy with psychomotor retardation and epilepsy due to maternal phenylketonuria (PKU). The boy was admitted at the age of 20 months because of psychomotor retardation and epilepsy. He had seizures from the age of 1 year. His development quotient was 43. He presented with
This paper focuses on the three areas in this field in which there have been advances in amino acid and organic acid metabolism. These are the description of glutamine synthetase deficiency, the elucidation of the mechanism of pyridoxine-dependent convulsions, and a hypothesis to explain the
3-Methylglutaconic-aciduria type I (MGA1, OMIM 250950) resulting from 3-Methylglutaconyl-coenzyme A hydratase deficiency is a rare inherited metabolic disorder of l-leucine catabolism. We diagnosed this condition in a 4-year-old German male with generalized fever-associated seizures from the age of
A 4-month-old girl developed convulsion in the neonatal period, which was focal motor seizures in the initial stage and later became spasm and tonic spasm. And the girl also had psychomotor retardation and recurrent pulmonary infection. Electroencephalography showed hypsarrhythmia, normal results
BACKGROUND
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder for which a number of genetic, environmental, and nutritional causes have been proposed. Glyphosate is used widely as a crop desiccant and as an herbicide in fields of genetically modified foods that are glyphosate resistant. Several researchers
An eight-week-old infant, the fourth child of consanguineous parents presented with intractable neonatal seizures. The mother had two previous miscarriages. The infant initially presented on day one with multifocal myoclonus, complex partial and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. On examination,
OBJECTIVE
Methylmalonic acid (MMA) inhibits succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity in vitro. Acute intrastriatal administration of MMA induces convulsions through glutamatergic mechanisms probably involving primary adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion and
BACKGROUND
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is the most common inborn error of metabolism in the country. The cause of the neuropathology is still not well established although accumulation of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and alteration in large neutral amino acids (LNAA) as well as energy
A 14-month-old male castrated domestic shorthair cat, which 2 months prior to presentation underwent hindlimb amputation following a road traffic accident, presented for investigation of four suspected generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Neurological examination was unremarkable. l-2 hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a rare, autosomal recessively inherited metabolic disorder of organic acid metabolism. A 5-year-old boy presented with eyelid myoclonia with absences that proved difficult to control with first-line anticonvulsants. An electroencephalogram produced profoundly abnormal
