title: [Muscular carnitine-palmityl-transferase deficiency].
abstract: Deficiency in carnitine-palmityl-transferase (CPT) was demonstrated in a 20-year-old man with paroxysmal myoglobinuria, after failure to discover another cause. It is concluded that muscular CPT deficiency must be excluded before a recurrent myoglobinuria is classified as "idiopathic".
