Abstract
A 4-month-old girl presented with myoclonic seizures and an electroencephalogram showing hypsarrhythmia. Hyperglycinuria and a cerebrospinal fluid to plasma glycine ratio of 0.2 suggested the diagnosis of non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia. Propionic acid and methyl citric acid were present in the urine, and propionyl coenzyme A carboxylase was deficient in leucocytes and fibroblasts. The ketotic and non-ketotic hyperglycinaemias cannot be differentiated by CSF: plasma glycine ratios.Entities:
