Abstract

We report a child with a diagnosis of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKGH), a rare neurometabolic disease caused by a defect in the glycine cleavage system, encoded by the GLDC, GCSH, AMT and GCSL genes resulting in elevated synaptic glycine levels generating a prolonged agonist effect on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors.  It is associated with hypotonia, seizures and swallowing disorders, which will depend on the age at presentation. A literature review was conducted to tailor perioperative approach.
