Abstract
3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) is a biotin-dependent enzyme involved in leucine metabolism. We describe a patient with MCC deficiency who manifested with Reye syndrome-like illness with status epilepticus, metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia, elevated liver enzymes and neurologic impairments after the viral gastroenteritis and then, has suffered from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Urinary organic acid analysis revealed increased excretion of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid and 3-methylcrotonylglycine. This patient was managed with leucine restriction diet and supplementation of biotin and carnitine but was not so effective. He has suffered from neurologic sequelae such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, motor and cognitive impairement.
