Rhabdomyolysis in early-onset very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency despite normal glucose after fasting.

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.
