A 3-month-old boy, first child of unrelated parents,
born by emergency Caesarean section at the
thirty-first week of pregnancy because of heart failure
and fetal hydrops, prenatal screening of mitral
valve dysplasia and ostium secundum type atrial
septal defect, was admitted to the Gastroenterology
Hepatology and Nutrition Unit of the hospital for
high blood ammonia levels [159 micrograms/decilitre
(µg/dL); normal levels: 0-75 µg/dL].
