Hepatomegaly
We describe a relatively new syndrome in four children with characteristic facial dysmorphism, sensorineural hearing loss, severe visual impairment with retinitis pigmentosa, hypotonia, hepatomegaly, and severe developmental delay. [ohsu.pure.elsevier.com]
An increase of this molecule in the blood may lead to hepatomegaly, neuropathty, and progressive, generalised demyelination of the nervous system. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. [biology-online.org]

Liver Biopsy
Liver biopsy specimens in two children showed an accentuated lobular architecture with prominent fibrous bands in the portal area. [ohsu.pure.elsevier.com]
However, peroxisomes appear normal on liver biopsy. Peroxisomal thiolase deficiency, or pseudo-ZWS, is believed to be a subgroup of D-bifunctional protein deficiency. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
As in the first edition, treatment is discussed extensively. Details are given for dietary treatment and drug administrations in acute situations, during infections and in maintenance treatment. [books.google.com]
If you believe that you are suffering from any of the symptoms of Pipecolic Acidemia it is important that you obtain an accurate diagnosis from a medical professional to ensure that you obtain the correct medication or treatment for your condition. [medigest.uk]
Prognosis

This variant has a better prognosis than that of other forms. AMN-cerebral is used to describe increased impairment of neuropsychological function. Patients have various degrees of brain MRI abnormalities. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
For more detailed information, particularly with respect to pathophysiology and genetics, we highly recommend the seventh edition of The Metabolic Basis of Inherited Disease, by Charles R. Scriver et al. (McGraw-Hill, 1995). [books.google.com]
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test Pipecolic acid (PA) is an intermediate of lysine metabolism and is oxidized in the peroxisomes by the enzyme L-pipecolate oxidase [mayocliniclabs.com]
The underlying pathophysiological mechanism in urea cycle defects (vasogenic edema) is different from that in MSUD (vacuolating myelinopathy), as demonstrated by the distinctly different presentations on diffusion-weighted images. [mrineonatalbrain.com]
