The clinico‐radiological findings of MSUD in a group of Egyptian children: Contribution to early diagnosis and outcome

Abstract Background Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of amino acid metabolism, with unique clinico‐radiological findings. This study aims to show the benefit of using the clinico‐radiological findings for early diagnosis of children with MSUD, and confirming th...

This study aims to show the benefit of using the clinico‐radiological findings for early diagnosis of children with MSUD, and confirming this diagnosis using the tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), in order to avoid deleterious outcome. Methods A prospective cohort study conducted in the period from August 2016 to December 2020. Twenty‐one children were included either by selective screening or by high‐risk screening. All children had clinical and neurodevelopmental evaluation, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment, and blood amino acids analysis at diagnosis. Patients were followed clinically. Results Most children had acute onsets neuro‐developmental symptoms, with wide range of brain parenchyma involvement on MRI (hyperintensity). Diagnosis of MSUD was confirmed by detecting high serum levels of leucine/isoleucine (mean value 2085.5 μmol/L) in all patients, and elevated levels of serum valine in (81%) of children. In addition, all children showed elevated leucine: alanine ratio, and leucine: phenylalanine ratio. Conclusions The characteristic clinico‐radiological features can help in the early diagnosis of MSUD children, thus preventing the delay in laboratory diagnosis and improving their outcomes.Montaser M.
