Acute metabolic encephalopathy: an introduction

J V Leonard. J Inherit Metab Dis. 2005.

Acute encephalopathy is a common and potentially serious problem in patients with inborn errors of metabolism. There are many causes and the diagnosis and treatment are both urgent. However, the pathogenesis is rarely well understood and, as a result, treatment of the complications is often problematic.
