Abstract
A 5-year-old girl with a previous diagnosis of cerebral palsy, nonprogressive psychomotor retardation, and hypotonia was found to excrete excessive fumaric acid in urine. Fumarate hydratase activity in skin fibroblasts was 10% of the control value. This case underscores the clinical heterogeneity of neurometabolic disorders and the importance of organic acid analysis in the diagnosis of static encephalopathy.Entities:
