Abstract
As soon as the diagnosis of a metabolic disorder is suspected, an emergency management has to be scheduled. As already stated in Chap. 1, both the signs and management mainly depend on the physiopathology involved. However, this chapter focuses on the main age-related clinical presentations in neonates and children for which emergency treatment can be life saving. In neonates, four main clinical presentations can be identified.
