Abstract:
L-2 Hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a rare metabolic disorder which is autosomal recessive in inheritance. It is characterised by the increased urinary excretion of L-2 hydroxyglutaric acid and the diagnosis is based on the increased levels of the L-2 hydroxy glutaric acid in the urine, serum & CSF. This is a neurometabolic disorder which is associated with slowly progressive psychomotor delay since childhood. We report a case of an 18 -year old female who presented at the emergency department with seizures, fever and on imaging show classic features.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations
Urine Studies I: Urinalysis
Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management
