Acute management of glycogen storage disease type Ia.
Rapid metabolic deterioration may occur in patients with some glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) regardless of presenting complaint. Hepatic, renal, and hemostatic abnormalities may also complicate diagnosis and treatment of trauma victims. We report the case of a man presenting with an epidural hematoma and a history of GSD type Ia.
