Abstract
The first reported national case of glutaric aciduria type I is presented. This pathology is part of the congenital errors of metabolism; It is produced by deficiency of the enzyme glutaryl coenzyme A dehydrogenase involved in the catabolism of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine and L-tryptophan, which causes the storage of glutaric and 3 hydroxyglutaric acids in the central nervous system. A clinical case with late diagnosis is described and corresponding to a form of insidious presentation of the disease. The clinical, imaging and metabolic integration allowed to establish a diagnosis of type I glutaric aciduria.
