Abstract
Reye’s syndrome or encephalopathy with fatty infiltration of the liver occurs mainly in childhood and to a lesser degree in adult age. This report concerns a rare adult case of this syndrome in Europe. The different diagnostic steps are described, with special emphasis on the enzymatic disturbances of the Krebs-Henseleit cycle and on the morphological criteria needed to confirm the diagnosis.
