Abstract
Summary: A patient with very long‐chain acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency presented in the neonatal period with hypoketotic hypoglycaemia and at the age of 1 year with rhabdomyolysis and normal glucose after fasting. Rhabdomyolysis may occur in the absence of hypoglycaemia in young infants as well as in older patients.Keywords
