Abstract
This entity should be considered in patients with acute metabolic acidosis and ketosis with normal glycemia and aciduria. The urine contains large amounts of 2-methylacetoacetate and its decarboxylation products. In the neonatal period, this inherited disorder of metabolism can produce severe hydroelectrolyte disorders in the form of a gradual process or acute episodes, which can occasionally be fatal.
