We aimed to describe the characteristics of patients presenting with a psychiatric adult-onset of UCDs, to discuss which signs could suggest this diagnosis in such a situation, and to determine which tests should be conducted. A survey of psychiatric symptoms occurring in teenagers or adults with UCD was conducted in 2010 among clinicians involved in the French society for the study of inborn errors of metabolism (SFEIM). Fourteen patients from 14 to 57 years old were reported. Agitation was reported in 10 cases, perseveration in 5, delirium in 4, and disinhibition in 3 cases. Three patients had pre-existing psychiatric symptoms. All patients had neurological symptoms associated with psychiatric symptoms, such as ataxia or dysmetria, psychomotor slowing, seizures, or hallucinations. Fluctuations of consciousness and coma were reported in 9 cases. Digestive symptoms were reported in 7 cases. 9 patients had a personal history suggestive of UCD. The differential diagnoses most frequently considered were exogenous intoxication, non-convulsive status epilepticus, and meningoencephalitis. Hyperammonemia (180–600 μmol/L) was found in all patients. The outcome was severe: mechanical ventilation was required in 10 patients, 5 patients died, and only 4 patients survived without sequelae. Adult onset UCDs can present with predominant psychiatric symptoms, associated with neurological involvement. These patients, as well as patients presenting with a suspicion of intoxication, must have UCD considered and ammonia measured without delay.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Maillot, F" uniqKey="Maillot F">F.

We aimed to describe the characteristics of patients presenting with a psychiatric adult-onset of UCDs, to discuss which signs could suggest this diagnosis in such a situation, and to determine which tests should be conducted. A survey of psychiatric symptoms occurring in teenagers or adults with UCD was conducted in 2010 among clinicians involved in the French society for the study of inborn errors of metabolism (SFEIM). Fourteen patients from 14 to 57 years old were reported. Agitation was reported in 10 cases, perseveration in 5, delirium in 4, and disinhibition in 3 cases. Three patients had pre-existing psychiatric symptoms. All patients had neurological symptoms associated with psychiatric symptoms, such as ataxia or dysmetria, psychomotor slowing, seizures, or hallucinations. Fluctuations of consciousness and coma were reported in 9 cases. Digestive symptoms were reported in 7 cases. 9 patients had a personal history suggestive of UCD. The differential diagnoses most frequently considered were exogenous intoxication, non-convulsive status epilepticus, and meningoencephalitis. Hyperammonemia (180–600 μmol/L) was found in all patients. The outcome was severe: mechanical ventilation was required in 10 patients, 5 patients died, and only 4 patients survived without sequelae. Adult onset UCDs can present with predominant psychiatric symptoms, associated with neurological involvement. These patients, as well as patients presenting with a suspicion of intoxication, must have UCD considered and ammonia measured without delay.</p></abstract><kwd-group id="ks0005"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Urea cycle disorders</kwd><kwd>Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency</kwd><kwd>Hyperammonemia</kwd><kwd>Valproate</kwd><kwd>Psychiatric decompensations</kwd><kwd>Late-onset</kwd><kwd>Adults</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="s0005"><label>1</label><title>Introduction</title><p>Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are rare genetic diseases of human metabolism <xref rid="bb0005" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0010" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>.

Through an email survey, we asked members to report late-onset UCD cases with psychiatric manifestations. A specific case report form was designed for the study. Inclusion criteria were cases describing a post-pubertal onset of UCD involving psychiatric symptoms, and to have had a clinical assessment by a psychiatrist (or admission in a psychiatric unit). We also selected observations of patients with a past psychiatric history, in whom a triggering factor led to an acute revelation of UCD. Exclusion criteria were patients with hyperammonemic encephalopathy not related to UCD, pre-puberty onsets of UCD, imprecise observations, observations with incomplete bioclinical data, observations without psychiatric symptomatology. Cases of patients diagnosed with UCD through family screening were not considered.</p><p>Diagnosis criteria for UCD relied on a specific measure of the deficient enzyme or the presence of pathogenic sequence variation(s) in an enzyme of the urea cycle. In the absence of such enzymologic or molecular data, the presence of hyperammonemia at onset along with a consistent amino acid chromatography pattern (AAC) or a proven diagnosis in a close relative with a similar clinical presentation were considered.</p><sec id="s0015"><label>2.1</label><title>Data selection</title><p>We extracted the following data: age at diagnosis, gender, occupation, obstetrical history, personal and familial medical history, treatments at onset, presence of dietary eviction, acute psychiatric neurological and digestive symptoms, suspected initial diagnosis, highest ammonia and glutamine, results of AAC, investigations and imaging, therapeutic management and outcome.</p></sec><sec id="s0020"><label>2.2</label><title>Statistical analysis</title><p>Descriptive statistics were used.

The remaining 14 cases consisted of 12 ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC, MIM <ext-link ext-link-type="omim" xlink:href="311250" id="ir0005">311250</ext-link>) deficiency and 2 Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase 1 (carbamoylphosphate synthetase 1, MIM <ext-link ext-link-type="omim" xlink:href="237300" id="ir0010">237300</ext-link>) deficiency.

Overall, 10 patients (71%) were reported to be agitated, or had to be restrained or sedated. Other symptoms were verbal or motor perseverations or automatisms (5), delirium or nonsense speech (4), delusions (3), behavioural or verbal disinhibition (3) including sexual disinhibition (2), and encopresia (2). One patient with a history of psychiatric symptoms (patient no 3) awoke from a coma with symptoms that included delusions, emotional lability and impulsivity. She later underwent psychiatric assessment: a personality disorder <italic>with histrionic</italic> and schizoid features was diagnosed which responded partially to olanzapine 15 mg and tiapride 200 mg daily.</p><p>Patients 13 and 14 had treated bipolar disorder, and a history of alcohol use disorder suicide risk and mood disorder requiring constraint hospitalisation in psychiatry. Both experienced coma after initiation of valproate. Patient 14, for example had been taking 600 mg of valpromide daily for 4 months when she was admitted in psychiatry, which was then replaced by valproate 500 mg daily, 3 days before she became comatose.</p><p>Psychiatric diagnoses considered by the patients' initial primary care units prior to confirmation of a UCD included anorexia nervosa, major depressive disorder, factitious disorder (Munchausen's syndrome), somatization disorder, and anxiety disorder.</p></sec><sec id="s0040"><label>3.3</label><title>Neurological symptoms</title><p>Neurological symptoms were associated with psychiatric symptomatology in all patients. Ataxia or cerebellar symptoms such as dysmetria were reported 5 patients. In patients not sedated, lethargy or slow ideation was reported in 8 patients, evolving towards coma or alternating with agitation. Fluctuating mentation was common, being reported in nine patients (64%). Seizures were reported 5 patients. Coma occurred in 9 (64%) patients. Other neurological symptoms reported were hallucinations (3) language or elocution disorder (5), and mydriasis (4), sometimes occurring before the onset of intracranial hypertension. Asterixis or flapping tremor was not reported.</p></sec><sec id="s0045"><label>3.4</label><title>Gastrointestinal symptoms</title><p>Nausea or vomiting was reported in 7 patients.

Overall, all patients were autonomous prior to the onset of their urea cycle disorder, and had normal development. Several had cognitively demanding occupations (nurse student, teacher, general practitioner…).</p><p>A past history of psychiatric disorder was reported in 7 patients, such as behavioural disorder, episodic or chronic feeding disorders, depression, personality disorder, bipolar psychosis and mood disorder. Two patients (cases 9, 10) had been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa during adolescence. Eight patients had a neurological history such as epilepsy, unexplained coma, ataxic episodes or mental confusion episodes, which in one patient occurred with bulimic episodes. A story of chronic vomiting or nausea, or of “acetonic crisis” was reported in 3 patients. Dietary protein avoidance was reported in 5 patients. One woman had a history of in utero fetal death of a male fetus, other had normal pregnancies.</p><p>Familial inquiry revealed a story of peripartum death in the sister of an index case, of deaths tagged as “cerebral aneurysm” in two uncles in one case, of unexplained post-surgery coma in the mother in one another case, and of meat avoidance in the daughters in one case. In 2 cases, some members of the family were aware of a metabolic disease in some close relatives. One patient had a female cousin deceased from unexplained encephalopathy.</p><p>Overall, 9 patients had a previous personal or familial history suggestive of UCD.</p></sec><sec id="s0055"><label>3.6</label><title>Triggers</title><p>Triggers were reported in 11 patients, including 4 infections such as gastroenteritis, rhinitis, or upper respiratory tract infections. In 2 patients, the use of corticosteroids was reported. In one case, the inaugural coma occurred after an enema in a dehydrated patient. In 2 patients, an unusual amount of protein in a meal was reported shortly before the clinical onset. In one of the patients, β-HCG were positive, but with uterine vacuity suggesting miscarriage. In one case, the only trigger reported was psychological, while the patient was preparing for a school examination; she had similar episodes of agitation and stereotypies previously during periods of stress (exams, death of a relative). In patients 13 and 14 the trigger was the recent introduction of valproate, associated in one patient with a meat meal.</p></sec><sec id="s0060"><label>3.7</label><title>Investigations</title><p>All patients had cerebral imaging. In most patients (10 each), drug screening and lumbar puncture were performed given suspicion of intoxication and/or meningoencephalitis. Non-convulsive status epilepticus was also frequently considered.</p><p>Hepatic abnormalities were reported in most patients (8/14): steatosis on imaging, or moderate elevation of liver enzymes were described, contrasting with sometimes (6/14) decreased prothrombin times. Post-mortem hepatic biopsies, performed in 3 cases, showed macro and micro steatosis.</p><p>At the time of diagnosis, ammonia was elevated (13/14 cases), with values ranging from 180 to 600 μmol/L. AAC was performed in all but two patients with OTC defect, and were indicative of an underlying UCD (see <xref rid="f0005" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref> for representative results). Glutamine was normal or high in most patients. All three patients with Glutamine over 1000 μmol/L (patients 1, 8, 20) did not survive the acute episode, these patients also all had ammonia > 600 μmol/L.

In one patient, the diagnosis was obtained retrospectively when her female cousin died from hyperammonemic encephalopathy. The remaining two patients were proven to have a CPS1 defect. Three patients had post mortem liver enzymatic activities measured. Patient 1 (CPS1 activity 0.06, N > 1.84); patient 12 (OTC activity 0.15 μmol/H/mg, N 33.5 ± 9.6), and patient 13 (OTC activity 3.1 μmol/h/mg, N 14–52). These enzymatic activities remained detectable, which is consistent with late onset urea cycle disorders. In patient 13, activity was 10% of mean activity, which is more elevated than in patients 1 and 12 and may account for a valproate induced onset. Despite a very low activity (0.5% of normal), patient 12 experienced late onset OTC deficiency. No inactivation studies were available.</p></sec><sec id="s0070"><label>3.9</label><title>Treatment and outcome</title><p>All but one patient (whose diagnosis was posthumouse) received a high calorie and low protein diet. Sodium phenylbutyrate or sodium benzoate was administered in 9 patients, urea cycle precursors (arginine or citrulline) in 11. Haemodialysis was required in 8/14, and mechanical ventilation in 9/14 patients.</p><p>Mortality was high, with 5 patients dying. Survival without sequelae was reported in 4 patients. Cognitive (n = 3), visual (n = 1), or neurological (epilepsy, n = 1) sequelae were frequent in survivors. One patient (no 3) required psychiatric follow up.</p></sec></sec><sec id="s0075"><label>4</label><title>Discussion</title><p>In the present study, we report 14 cases of adult onset UCD presenting with psychiatric symptoms. A multitude of psychiatric symptoms have been reported in children as well as in adults in the literature <xref rid="bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>, such as features suggestive of psychotic disorder or schizophrenia <xref rid="bb0030" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0035" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0045" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>. However, in this series, the heterogeneous clinical presentation frequently misled the physicians in charge, thus delaying the diagnosis. The outcomes were severe, with only 4 patients surviving without sequelae. As the prognosis of acute UCD is linked to the extent and to the duration of hyperammonemia <xref rid="bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0070" ref-type="bibr">[14]</xref>, an earlier diagnosis is therefore essential.</p><p>Most of the psychiatric symptomatology was non-specific in our series. In keeping with previous reports <xref rid="bb0025" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0105" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0110" ref-type="bibr">[22]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0115" ref-type="bibr">[23]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0120" ref-type="bibr">[24]</xref> agitation and perseveration or automatism were the most frequently reported signs. Delirium was also reported in several patients. Unexpectedly, behavioural disinhibition, sometimes under the form of encopresia, was reported in 3 patients. Numerous reports of UCDs masquerading as post-partum psychosis <xref rid="bb0080" ref-type="bibr">[16]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0090" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0125" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0130" ref-type="bibr">[26]</xref>, none of our patients was misdiagnosed as such. On the other hand, in keeping with previous reports (7, 24), spontaneous protein restriction and vomiting episodes were suggestive of anorexia nervosa in two of our patients. Psychiatric symptoms could have the same physiopathological basis as cognitive abnormalities in UCDs, including ammonia and glutamine toxicity, as well as neurotransmitters abnormalities <xref rid="bb0135" ref-type="bibr">[27]</xref>.</p><p>Of note, the association of neurologic with psychiatric symptoms was very evocative, as all patients experienced various neurologic symptoms ranging from confusion to coma, with frequently reported ataxia, dysarthria or seizures. Those symptoms have regularly been described in adult-onset UCDs <xref rid="bb0105" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0125" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0140" ref-type="bibr">[28]</xref>. Of note, neither asterixis nor flapping tremor was reported in this series of patients. Therefore, its absence on clinical examination in the psychiatric setting should not rule out hyperammonemic encephalopathy. Fluctuations of consciousness or the alternance of somnolence with agitation were reported in most patients. To our knowledge, these variations in consciousness are not described in the literature. The selection of patients with psychiatric symptoms may have induced a recruitment bias by selecting, among encephalopathic patients, those more susceptible to be agitated, raising the need for a psychiatric evaluation. Nevertheless, we believe fluctuations of consciousness in a psychiatric setting should urgently lead to screening for UCD. Finally, it is interesting to highlight that besides the exclusion of infectious, vascular or neoplastic causes to the clinical features presented, the vast majority of our patients had toxicology screening at some point. This indicates that in trained physicians, the picture of an acute psychiatric UCD can be evocative of intoxication. We strongly recommend, in keeping with international guidelines <xref rid="bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>, that in unexplained intoxication presentations an endogenous intoxication (i.e. metabolic diseases) should be considered in the same timeframe as usual toxicology screening.</p><p>Apart from the aforementioned, other clinical features should also prompt a metabolic screening. Overall, the vast majority of our patients had a personal or familial history suggestive of UCD, or a diet restricted in protein <xref rid="bb0145" ref-type="bibr">[29]</xref>, which underlines the crucial importance of a full clinical history in these situations. Additionally, the identification of a trigger to the episode can be strongly evocative of a metabolic condition.</p><p>These triggers cluster in 3 categories. The first is an exogenous protein load, which can be nosocomial during artificial nutrition <xref rid="bb0150" ref-type="bibr">[30]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0155" ref-type="bibr">[31]</xref>. The second are hypercatabolic states such as infections, fasting, corticosteroids, pregnancy or surgery <xref rid="bb0105" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0160" ref-type="bibr">[32]</xref>. Pregnancy is a classical trigger to late-onset UCDs <xref rid="bb0080" ref-type="bibr">[16]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0090" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0125" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>. Here, one of our patients had likely undergone recent miscarriage (no 8: positive β HCG and uterine vacuity), while another had psychiatric troubles which had started after her first pregnancy. The third trigger is valproate-induced hyperammonemia <xref rid="bb0110" ref-type="bibr">[22]</xref>, due to the inhibition of the urea cycle (<xref rid="f0005" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>). Of note, some other drugs such as PEG-asparaginase can trigger hyperammonemic decompensations <xref rid="bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>. Finally, we also report here a hyperammonemic crisis seemingly triggered by psychological stress. This trigger has been rarely described in adult-onset UCD <xref rid="bb0110" ref-type="bibr">[22]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0165" ref-type="bibr">[33]</xref>.</p><p>Once an acute decompensation of a UCD has been suggested, an ammonia should be taken without delay, and seems to have an excellent predictive value <xref rid="bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>, both positive and negative, for acute onsets of UCD. Ammonia should be taken on Lithium Heparin, put immediately on ice and processed as soon as possible <xref rid="bb0170" ref-type="bibr">[34]</xref>, in the same timeframe as the exclusion of more frequent diagnosis such as cerebrovascular causes or encephalitis. Cerebral CT scanner and MRI are usually normal until the onset of cerebral oedema; respiratory alkalosis may be observed on blood gas. Interestingly, the majority of our patients had elevated hepatic enzymes, with sometimes lowering of PT. Consistent with our data, UCDs are currently thought to be associated to several chronic and acute hepatic diseases <xref rid="bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0175" ref-type="bibr">[35]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0180" ref-type="bibr">[36]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0185" ref-type="bibr">[37]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0190" ref-type="bibr">[38]</xref>. In any case, acute liver failure and low PT should not rule out acute-onset UCD.</p><p>Overall, psychiatric late-onset UCD are rare, and their clinical variability frequently leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment, with possible dramatic consequences. Some elements of the clinical picture are suggestive and may raise a suspicion of the correct diagnosis. The psychiatric symptoms are non-specific, but usually include agitation and stereotypic behaviour. Aggressiveness, visual hallucinations, delirium or disinhibition can also be part of the picture. A personal or familial history of specific diet restrictions, inebriation-like, confusional or cyclic digestive disorders episodes, as well as unexplained coma should trigger the suspicion of a UCD. Triggers such as exogenous protein load, hypercatabolic states stress or recent valproate introduction are also strongly evocative. The clinical presentation is usually atypical, but some elements are suggestive, particularly the association of psychiatric symptoms with neurologic symptoms.</p><p>Once raised the possibility of a UCD, it should be immediately assessed by measuring a blood ammonia. If elevated, specialised metabolic advice should be seeked and treatment should be started without delay <xref rid="bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>. Suggested care for adult-onset UCD are summarized.</p><p>Our study has some strengths and limitations. First, this is to the best of our knowledge the first series to date investigating psychiatric adult-onset UCDs to date. A key message is that all patients had neurological signs associated to psychiatric symptoms. All psychiatric patients presenting neurological signs should have a thorough clinical examination and a workout including ammonia. Second, we have shown that psychiatric presentations of late onset UCDs are as severe if not worse as non-psychiatric onsets or childhood onsets. This severity makes it essential to evoke the diagnosis precociously. Third, some of the cases reported in this study raise the possibility of chronic psychiatric manifestations in adults, together with other reports from the medical literature <xref rid="bb0195" ref-type="bibr">[39]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0200" ref-type="bibr">[40]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0205" ref-type="bibr">[41]</xref>, <xref rid="bb0210" ref-type="bibr">[42]</xref> suggests the hypothesis of psychiatric chronic expression of UCDs, which should be taken into account when valproate therapy is considered. Fourth, the fact that a vast majority of patients were screened for drugs should raise the possibility to include ammonia in toxicology screenings in emergency or psychiatry departments. Our study has some limitations, the principal being its retrospective case series design. However, in the absence of Case Report Forms, the clinical elements written down in medical notes were spontaneously considered as relevant by physicians unaware of a metabolic condition at the time of the decompensation. Therefore we think they should be relied on when raising awareness of UCDs in emergency and psychiatry physicians. Another bias is the small number of observations that were gathered. Therefore, generalization of these results will need to be comforted by other studies. Particularly, the constant association to neurological signs may have resulted from a selection bias, and could only be confirmed by prospective screenings in adult psychiatry emergency departments. Third, there was missing data in the notes we gathered. Therefore, IQ, neuropsychological assessments, relevant psychiatric scales could not be provided, and future study should focus on these gaps.</p></sec><sec id="s0080"><label>5</label><title>Conclusions</title><p>The present study underlines the ability of late-onset UCDs to mimic psychiatric diseases, always associated with neurological symptoms. The association of neurological or digestive signs with an atypical psychiatric picture should raise the diagnosis of UCD, especially when a trigger is highlighted. A familial history or a specific diet can also be suggestive of UCD. In this situation, ammonia should be measured and treatment started without delay, to prevent the onset of cerebral edema and further neurological damage.</p></sec><sec id="s0085"><title>Disclosures/competing interests</title><p>The authors declare no competing interests.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list id="bi0005"><title>References</title><ref id="bb0005"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="rf0005"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Maillot</surname><given-names>F.</given-names></name><name><surname>Blasco</surname><given-names>H.</given-names></name><name><surname>Lioger</surname><given-names>B.</given-names></name><name><surname>Bigot</surname><given-names>A.</given-names></name><name><surname>Douillard</surname><given-names>C.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Diagnosis and treatment of urea cycle disorders in adult patients</article-title><source>Rev.
