Proprionic acidemia
Propionic Acidaemia
"Propionic acidemia is a metabolic disorder in which a defective form of the enzyme propionyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase results in the accumulation of propionic acid. Patients may present with vomiting, dehydration, lethargy, and encephalopathy. Clinical and imaging evidence suggests that propionic acidemia predisposes patients to bilateral infarcts of the basal ganglia involving the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus. Milder forms may be characterized by the absence of some these clinical characteristics."
