Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare autosomal dominant condition of porphyrin metabolism resulting from the half-normal Hydroxy methyl bilane synthase activity. The disorder can present with protean manifestation ranging from acute abdomen, psychosis to gross peripheral neuropathy thus making the diagnosis challenging and misled most of the times.
