The Therapeutic Hypothermia in Treatment of Hyperammonemic Encephalopathy due to Urea Cycle Disorders and Organic Acidemias
Background: Hyperammonemic encephalopathy in newborns with urea cycle disorders and certain organic acidurias can cause severe brain injury, coma and death. Standard therapy includes protein restriction, nitrogen-scavenging drugs, prevention of catabolism and hemodialysis. Neuroprotective hypothermia as part of the treatment has been reported only 3 times. It has been suggested that mild systemic hypothermia can contribute to better neurological outcomes in hyperammonemic encephalopathy. However, the limited experience precludes accurate conclusions on safety and efficacy. Methods: Whole body therapeutic hypothermia was included in the standard treatment of hyperammonemic encephalopathy in 4 neonates with urea cycle disorder or organic aciduria. Results: Two patients survived the initial crisis. One patient has a developmental quotient of 0.8, while the other shows severe developmental delay. The cooling protocol had to be discontinued in 3 patients due to the otherwise untreatable complications (hypotension and hemorrhage). Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of therapeutic hypothermia in the treatment of neonatal hyperammonemic encephalopathy depend on various factors, requiring further evaluation.
