Development of intelligence and neuropsychological impairment scales for the Washington Psychosocial Seizure Inventory.

abstract：PURPOSE:Methylmalonic acidemias are inherited metabolic disorders characterized by methylmalonate (MMA) accumulation and neurologic dysfunction, including seizures. It is known that metabolic crises in affected patients are precipitated by infections. Although growing evidence supports that inflammation facilitates sei...
