Abstract
Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-alpha deficiency (PDHAD) results in lactic acidosis and hyperpyruvatemia. Two patients with PDHAD, a man with a p.R263Q mutation, and a girl with a p.C145del mutation in PDHE1α, presented with lactic acidosis with neurological disorder. These patients were able to survive for a long period under careful nursing care. Herein, we discuss the factors contributing to their relatively stable clinical course, albeit with intellectual disability.Entities:
