AB  - Neonatal  hyperammonemia  is  a  feature  of  many  different  inborn  errors  of  metabolism  that  may  be  individually  rare  but  have  about  a  1:5000  cumulative  incidence.1,2  It  can  also  be  a  feature  of  fulminant  liver  failure  of  any  cause  and  of  structural  anomalies  leading  to  portosystemic  shunting.  Neonatal  hyperammonemia  represents  a  true  metabolic  emergency  as  rapid  identification  and  intervention  are  critical  to  a  positive  neurologic  outcome.  It  is  essential  that  neonatal  centers  have  a  protocol  and  plan  in  place  to  address  these  patients.  A  representative  protocol  is  provided  in  this  chapter  (Table  106-1)  and  details  are  provided.
