Abstract
We present a clinical case of Intermittent Acute Porphyria whose symptoms initiated with a picture of abdominal pain followed by seizures and peripheral axonal sensory-motor polyneuropathy with involvement of the respiratory musculature that required orotracheal intubation. It is interesting due to its uncommon prevalence and multiple presentation forms together with its wide range of possible differential diagnoses. We describe the rehabilitation treatment prescribed and its posterior course. We review the main aspects on the subject presented in the literature.
