Abstract
We report the first case of late-onset isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (ISOD) presenting with a stroke-like episode. Clinical, biochemical and neuroradiological features at diagnosis and during follow-up after dietary treatment intervention are described. Furthermore, pathogenic mechanisms possibly leading to stroke in ISOD are discussed.
► We present a case of isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency presenting with stroke. ► We describe favorable clinical and biochemical follow-ups after dietary intervention. ► Possible pathogenic mechanisms leading to stroke are described. ► Homocysteine revealed an important biomarker for early diagnosis. ► We underline the importance of enhanced knowledge of a rare but treatable disease.
