In this paper, the authors describe a patient with HMG-CoA Lyase deficiency. He initially presented at 8 months with seizures during a gastroenteritis; he had hepatomegaly and elevated liver enzymes. Urine organic acids and plasma acylcarnitine profile were consistent with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme a lyase deficiency. White matter changes were noted, but these normalized with initiation of a leucine-restricted diet. 12 months later, he was developmentaly normal.
