Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report on an infant with D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, who presented with severe seizures and developmental delay. We reviewed the literature for 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria and found six other patients with the D-isomer and 24 patients with the L-isomer. Although the clinical spectrum of this inborn error of metabolism is variable, the clinical course of the D-form seems to be more severe than this of the L-form.
