Abstract

Deficiency of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) is a rare neurometabolic disorder with accumulation of 4-hydroxybutyric acid (4-HBA) as a biochemical hallmark. We present a boy with an unresolved severe neurological disorder and intermittent elevation of 4-HBA in serum and CSF which was later shown to result from iatrogenic administration of 4-HBA for sedation purposes.
