Abstract
We report on a neonate with hyperammonemic coma in whom hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria syndrome was diagnosed. Appropriate treatment led to rapid clinical and metabolic improvement. The incorporation of 14C-ornithine on cultured fibroblasts confirmed the diagnosis. At the age of 18 months, the patient is in excellent clinical condition.Entities:
