A 20-month-old girl with a family history of two siblings who died of an encephalopathy diagnosed as Reye syndrome presented to an emergency room in hypoglycemic coma and was found to have medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency. The salient clinical and biochemical features of this newly described inborn error of fatty acid metabolism are described and contrasted to those of classical Reye syndrome. Important clues that should lead the clinician to suspect this disorder, methods of diagnosis, and appropriate acute and long-term therapy are also discussed.

Abstract Background Late-onset multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is a rare and treatable inherited lipid storage myopathy. Here, we report an elderly patient with MADD mimicking myositis. Case presentation An 80-year-old woman had progressive weakness in her limbs, exercise intolerance, and no muscle pain for 3 months. The patient’s serum creatine kinase level was slightly elevated. The initial diagnosis was myositis. However, muscle biopsy showed many cytoplasmic vacuoles stained with oil red O, indicating the presence of lipid storage myopathy. The plasma acylcarnitine profile showed increased medium-chain and long-chain acylcarnitine species, consistent with the diagnosis of MADD. Riboflavin treatment dramatically improved muscle weakness. Conclusions MADD should be considered when evaluating elderly patients with subacute muscle weakness.
