Current concepts in Reye's syndrome.
Reye's syndrome is an acute metabolic encephalopathy largely affecting children and adolescents. Its aetiopathogenesis, although controversial, is at least partially understood. Its study has helped to create a greater awareness of inherited disorders of intermediary metabolism. Although these are individually rare, when combined they constitute a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
