Popis: Tyrosinemia type I is an inborn error of metabolism of the amino acids, caused by a deficiency or absence of the enzyme activity of fumaril-acetoacetate hydrolase in the catabolism of tyrosine. It has a variable clinical presentation, from an acute severe neonatal form until a virtually asymptomatic form with late presentation. The rapid diagnosis and nutritional management is essential for a good outcome.Four clinical cases are presented, two of which were confirmed as tyrosinemia type I and two that were initially misdiagnosed. Diagnostic criteria and therapeutic management are emphasized.
