Reye's syndrome is an acute metabolic encephalopathy largely affecting children and adolescents. Its aetiopathogenesis, although controversial, is at least partially understood. Its study has helped to create a greater awareness of inherited disorders of intermediary metabolism. Although these are individually rare, when combined they constitute a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
瑞氏综合征是一种主要影响儿童和青少年的急性代谢性脑病。其病因发病机制虽存在争议，但至少部分已为人所知。对它的研究有助于提高对中间代谢遗传性疾病的认识。尽管这些疾病个体罕见，但综合起来它们是发病和死亡的一个重要原因。
