REYE AND REYE-LIKE SYNDROMES: A CASE REPORT

We conducted a detailed clinical and laboratory intervention to the patient who came to our emergency unit in deep coma and died in 15 hours. At the end of histopathological approach by needle biopsy, we concluded that she developed a Reye-like syndrome probably due to her metabolic deficiency and advised her family to ask for genetic counseling at a university clinic. By means of this patient, we reviewed Reye and Reye-like syndromes up to date.
