Abstract
A female child with undiagnosed partial ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency suffered hyperammonemic coma after initiation of valproate for suspected seizures. Retrospective history and metabolic testing indicated ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. This case, along with previous reports in children and adults, demonstrates the importance of a focused history and consideration of appropriate metabolic testing prior to implementation of valproate therapy especially in female patients.
