    Abstract:
    Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that results in severe ketoacidosis due to a defect in ketone utilization. We describe a case of a 12-month-old infant presenting with severe metabolic acidosis, ketosis, and hyperammonemia, a combination of symptoms suggestive of an inborn error of metabolism. Genetic testing found our patient had a homozygous variant in the OXCT1 gene, c.1543A>G (p.Met515Val). This was the first identified case of SCOT deficiency at our institution. We share our acute management strategies for initial stabilization in the intensive care unit, as well as our approach to preventing morning ketosis after discharge using uncooked cornstarch.
