Abstract
Neonatal hyperammonemia is a life-threatening complication of several conditions seen in the newborn infant (Table 1). Some of these disorders are potentially reversible; others are amenable to long-term therapy if early diagnosis and aggressive management in the neonatal period can prevent the catastrophic neurologic deterioration that accompanies massive hyperammonemia.Keywords
