Abstract

Purpose: We investigated the neurological outcome of 38 late-diagnosed phenylketonuria patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG), visual evoked potentials (VEP), intelligence quotients (IQ) and examined the correlation of these parameters with the age and the plasma phenylalanine levels of patients at diagnosis.
