Acute Metabolic Crisis in Maple Syrup Urine Disease, a Rare but Life-Threatening Neurocritical Care Emergency: Case Report

2026-08-14

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a deficiency in the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase enzyme complex necessary for metabolizing the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Periods of stress and illness can cause patients to experience sudden metabolic crises. We present a r...
