[Comb-like rhythm: an EEG pattern peculiar to leucinosis].
EEG and clinical aspects of a newborn baby with maple syrup urine disease are presented. EEG shows in central areas "Comb-like rhytms" with pseudo-periodic background activity. These patterns seem peculiar to maple syrup urine disease according to Trottier et al. (1975). EEG findings may suggest screening for aminoacids.
