Isolated deficiency of 3-methylcrotonyl CoA carboxylase is a rare disorder of the catabolic pathway for leucine and many patients have mild symptoms or no symptom. However, the introduction of tandem mass spectrometry in newborn screening has revealed an unexpectedly high incidence of this disorder. We report an asymptomatic premature infant with isolated 3-methylcrotonyl CoA carboxylase deficiency detected by newborn screening... |

Neuronal migrational disorders of the brain represent abnormalities in the formation of
the neocortex caused by faulty migration of the subependymal neuroblasts. The
neuroblasts normally migrate between the sixth and 15th gestational week and in doing
so form the six-layered neocortex. When the migration does not occur in a normal
fashion the resultant brain anomalies include lissencephaly, pachygyria, schizencephaly,
hemimegalencephaly, heterotopia, and polymicrogyria.
