A 25-year-old Chinese man presented with a 2-year history of recurrent coma. His plasma ammonia level was extremely elevated, with raised citrulline level and absence of argininosuccinic acid. Adult-onset citrullinaemia, a condition rarely reported outside the Japanese population, was diagnosed. Serial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, including diffusion-weighted (DW) studies, showed initial involvement of the insula cortex and cingulate gyrus, changing to a pattern of multiple small lesions in the depths of the cortical sulci. This changing pattern of lesions over time on DW MR imaging has not previously been described in adult-onset citrullinaemia.
