title: Metabolic stroke in methylmalonic acidemia five years after liver transplantation.
abstract: It is believed that liver transplantation may improve the outcome of early onset methylmalonic acidemia. We report a case of methylmalonic acidemia in which successful liver transplantation in infancy failed to prevent neurologic damage caused by a metabolic stroke.
