2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 270.3

Disturbances of branched-chain amino-acid metabolism

 On October 1, 2008 the 2009 ICD-9-CM codes came into effect. Therefore, this code may be out of date.

The 2009 version of ICD-9-CM 270.3 can be accessed here.

  • An autosomal recessive inherited disorder with multiple forms of phenotypic expression, caused by a defect in the oxidative decarboxylation of branched-chain amino acids (AMINO ACIDS, BRANCHED-CHAIN). These metabolites accumulate in body fluids and render a "maple syrup" odor. The disease is divided into classic, intermediate, intermittent, and thiamine responsive subtypes. The classic form presents in the first week of life with ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, emesis, neonatal seizures, and hypertonia. The intermediate and intermittent forms present in childhood or later with acute episodes of ataxia and vomiting. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p936)
