title: Cerebellar hemorrhage in a patient with propionic acidemia.
abstract: Cerebellar hemorrhage (CH) is a well-known complication in newborns. Among metabolic patients, it has been classically described but rarely reported. This is the first description of a patient with propionic acidemia in whom magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowed diagnosis of asymptomatic CH. Due to the usual silent presentation of CH at early ages, we suggest the possibility of including a brain MRI study as part of the routine neurological evaluation in metabolic patients, especially when neurological signs appear.
