L-2 Hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a rare metabolic disorder which is autosomal recessive in inheritance. It is characterised by the increased urinary excretion of L-2 hydroxyglutaric acid and the diagnosis is based on the increased levels of the L-2 hydroxy glutaric acid in the urine, serum & CSF. This is a neurometabolic disorder which is associated with slowly progressive psychomotor delay since childhood. We report a case of an 18 -year old female who presented at the emergency department with seizures, fever and on imaging show classic features.
L-2-羟基戊二酸尿症是一种罕见的代谢紊乱疾病,呈常染色体隐性遗传。其特征是尿中L-2-羟基戊二酸排泄增加,诊断基于尿液、血清和脑脊液中L-2-羟基戊二酸水平升高。这是一种神经代谢紊乱疾病,自儿童期起就与缓慢进展的精神运动发育迟缓相关。我们报告一例18岁女性病例,该患者因癫痫发作、发热到急诊科就诊,影像学检查显示典型特征。
