Innovative Concept

Domino liver transplant has emerged as a viable strategy to increase the number of grafts available for transplantation. In the domino transplant organs explanted from one patient are transplanted into another patient. The first successful domino liver transplant was performed in Portugal in 1995. Since then this innovative concept has been applied to several genetic or biochemical disorders that are treated by liver transplantation. An important consideration during this operation is that such livers can pose a risk of the de novo development of the disease in the recipient. That is why this surgical procedure requires careful planning, proper selection of the patients, and informed consent of both donor and recipient.

Metabolic Stroke

Metabolic strokes are a notable feature associated with acute catabolic crises in patients with propionic acidemia. Despite their importance, these events are not well characterized. Here, we present the clinical history of a patient with propionic acidemia who developed 5 episodes of acute hemiparesis between 3 and 11 years of age. The clinical finding of hemiparesis associated with 4 of these 5 events were shorted lived (2-5 days). Neuroimaging showed signal changes in the basal ganglia manifesting many years following the initial episode. Two of the episodes were accompanied by definite seizures. Based on these factors, the hemiparetic events were most consistent with metabolic strokes, though what is distinctive is that most of the events occurred without evidence of metabolic decompensation; brain magnetic resonance imaging findings were not suggestive in the acute setting. We present a framework for evaluating suspected metabolic stroke in propionic acidemia, in light of the sometimes perplexing clinical heterogeneity underlining these events.
