Abstract

We report a patient presenting with developmental delay, Leigh-like abnormalities on MRI and elevated 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid levels. Upon whole-exome sequencing, he was diagnosed with 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase (HIBCH) deficiency, and hence subjected to specific dietary treatment. HIBCH deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of Leigh-like disease and/or organic aciduria. © 2019 The Authors. Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
