Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency is a rare neurometabolic disorder that closely mimics hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy both clinically and radiologically. Phenotypic and imaging observations in 2 children (aged 14 months and 8 years) with this disease are described. Both had profound mental retardation, microcephaly, spastic quadriparesis, and uncontrolled seizures from the neonatal period. Diagnosis was established by demonstrating the presence of sulfites in urine and genetic analysis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed severe cystic leukomalacia, cortical atrophy with ulegyric pattern, and cerebellar hypoplasia that progressed over time in both the patients. Early diagnosis of this devastating disorder will provide an opportunity for genetic counseling and prenatal testing.
