Akçaağaç şurubu idrar hastalığı (MSUD), dallı zincirli aminoasitler olan valin, lösin, izolösinin metabolizmasındaki genetik defekte bağlı bir hastalıktır. Bu hastalar genellikle akut metabolik ensefalopatik kriz ile başvururlar. Kraniyal MR görüntüleme de; serebellar beyaz cevher, pons, bulbus, serebral pedinküller, internal kapsülün posterior kolları ve talamik çekirdeklerde yaygın, yoğun ödem bulunmaktadır. Bu görüntü terminolojide MSUD ödemi olarak geçmektedir. Yine difüzyon MR görüntülerinde aynı bölgelerde difüzyon kısıtlılığı saptanmaktadır. Biz bu olguda; metabolik hastalık ön tanısıyla yatırılan ve 18. gününde ilk olarak MR ve difüzyon MR görüntüleriyle MSUD tanısı üzerinde yoğunlaşılan bir yenidoğan hastayı sunduk. Sonuç olarak; letarjik bir yenidoğanda metabolik tetkikleri tamamlanana kadar karekteristik MR ve difüzyon MR görüntüleri ile MSUD hastalığı tanısı düşünebileceğimizi vurgulamak istedik.
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is caused by a genetic defect of branched-chain amino acids, which include leucine, isoleucine and valine. These patients usually present with acute metabolic crisis. MRI fi ndings are diffuse oedema involving the cerebellar white matter, pons, bulbus, cerebral peduncles, the posterior limbs of the internal capsules and the thalami. This MR image is called MSUD oedema. Diffusion-weighted imaging fi ndings are also present at the same areas. We report a newborn patient who had a prediagnosis of metabolic disease and who was determined to have MSUD by MR and diffusion-weighted MR imaging at 18 days of life. We want to emphasize that we should concentrate on the early diagnosis of MSUD with the characteristic MR and diffusion-weighted MR imaging fi ndings in a lethargic newborn before completing the metabolic work-up

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
