title: [Transient symptomatic neonatal hyperammonemia].
abstract: Premature newborns suffering from respiratory distress and asphyxiated term newborns may present transient symptomatic neonatal hyperammonemia associated with reversible neonatal coma. As they survive they may develop normally; however the authors emphasize the importance of concomitant hemodynamic disorders and the extreme frequency of brain hemorrhage and ischemia. Ultrasonography or tomodensitometry are necessary for prognosis.
