Abstract :
The etiology of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is generally undetectable; its main feature is dilated ventricles of the heart. While metabolic disorders are among the etiologic factors (1), no patient with L-2 hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L2HGA) and DCM has been reported. We present a 16-year-old male under follow-up with DCM, who was subsequently diagnosed as L2HGA.
