Abstract
Signs of moderately severe spastic diplegia appeared in a 14 yr old late-treated phenylketonuric boy 13 mo. after dietary restrictions were lifted. The literature contains reports of untreated phenylketonuric patients developing demyelinating conditions in later childhood. The possible implications of relaxing the diet in early- and late-treated cases of phenylketonuria were discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
