Abstract

Nowadays, we count on the heel prick test in newborns to diagnose main congenital disorders of metabolism, which include the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency and other pathologies. This case involved a young adult with a serious clinical presentation that entailed a diagnostic challenge because there was no previous identification of this disease nor a family health history that would indicate so. The collaboration of different specialists and the exhaustive study with various complementary tests led us to the diagnosis of this rare disease, the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency.
