摘要：Abstract Very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD) is an inborn error in long chain fatty acid oxidation with significant variability in the severity and timing of its clinical presentation. Neonatal presentations of \{VLCADD\} have included hypoglycemia and cardiomyopathy while rhabdomyolysis is usually a later onset complication. We describe a neonate with \{VLCADD\} presenting with rhabdomyolysis prior to the return of an abnormal newborn screen. This report suggests that evaluating for rhabdomyolysis, in addition to a cardiac and hepatic work-up, is an important part of the initial evaluation of an infant with an abnormal newborn screen suggesting a diagnosis of VLCADD.
