Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) deficiency is known to cause congenital lactic acidosis. The case of a 9-month-old female infant with PDHC deficiency caused by a mutation in exon 11 of the
pyruvate dehydrogenase
(
PDH
) E1 alpha gene is described. Her facial features were as follows: frontal bossing, upslanting palpebral fissures, a short upturned nose, a long philtrum and low set ears. These anomalies are characteristic not only of a malformation syndrome or chromosomal aberration, but also of PDHC deficiency. Because PDHC deficiency requires early treatment, metabolic disorders should be kept in mind in a patient with dysmorphic features. Further, she had multiple minor anomalies including bilateral inguinal herniae, an umbilical
hernia
and small hands and feet, which have not been described in previous reports.
