Abstract：
Metabolic work-up, pursued in a 5-month-old female infant with hypersomnolence, failure to thrive, and global developmental delay, led to the identification of gamma-hydroxybutyric aciduria (GHB). Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADH deficiency) was confirmed enzymatically and molecularly. Characteristic dysmorphic facies, cardiovascular anomalies, and hypercalcemia led to clinical suspicion of Williams-Beuren syndrome (WS), confirmed by cytogenetic studies. This rare occurrence of two unrelated genetic conditions highlights the importance of instituting comprehensive metabolic studies despite the presence of syndromic findings, even in the absence of other metabolic abnormalities that may be indicative of metabolic disease such as hyperammonemia, hypoglycemia, ketonuria, and metabolic acidosis.
