title: [Neonatal form of isovaleric acidemia. Apropos of a new case].
abstract: The case reported concerns a 18 day-old girl who was hospitalized for severe toxemia. The nauseous smell, and significant ketonuria led us to suspect a disorder in amino-acids metabolism. Diagnosis was proven by gas chromatography. With adequate diet, evolution was favourable and the child had a normal psycho-motor development.
