Résumé

A case of a 19-year-old female with low-risk acute myeloid leukemia is presented who was diagnosed with idiopathic hyperammonemic encephalopathy following the development of abrupt neurologic decline, respiratory alkalosis, and elevated plasma ammonia levels of unknown etiology. Delayed symptom recognition of this exceedingly rare condition contributes to the often fatal outcomes of idiopathic hyperammonemic encephalopathy. As illustrated by this case, prompt diagnosis and utilization of a variety of ammonia-modulating treatment modalities can result in remarkable clinical recovery. This case provides guidance to clinicians in counseling families about the possibility of neurologic recovery in similar clinical scenarios.
