Cerebellar hemorrhage complicating methylmalonic and propionic acidemia. 1984

P Dave, and R G Curless, and L Steinman

Methylmalonic (MMA) and propionic (PPA) acidemias are inherited disorders characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical and biochemical findings. We report the neuropathologic findings in two young infants with MMA and PPA in which death probably resulted from cerebellar hemorrhage. When combined with a previous report of isovaleric acidemia complicated by diffuse subarachnoid and parenchymal cerebellar hemorrhage, it is apparent that cerebellar hemorrhage must be considered in any infant with a fulminating organic acidemia. Rapid neurologic deterioration despite an improvement in acidosis and hyperammonemia is an indication for computed tomography of brain. Surgical evacuation of the blood may improve the chance for survival in this catastrophic illness.

Inborn Errors of Metabolism,Metabolism Errors, Inborn,Error, Inborn Metabolism,Errors Metabolism, Inborn,Errors Metabolisms, Inborn,Errors, Inborn Metabolism,Inborn Errors Metabolism,Inborn Errors Metabolisms,Inborn Metabolism Error,Inborn Metabolism Errors,Metabolism Error, Inborn,Metabolism Inborn Error,Metabolism Inborn Errors,Metabolisms, Inborn Errors
D008764 Methylmalonic Acid A malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA. Acid, Methylmalonic
