Inborn errors of mitochondrial enzymes may affect the liver, especially during metabolic decompensation episodes. Fatty infiltration is common in most fatty acid oxidation defects, portal fibrosis is seen in some of the urea cycle disorders, and patients with mtDNA depletion may present with liver failure (1-3). Other defects of oxidative phosphorylation in which liver involvement has been reported are complex III or complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) deficiency and mtDNA deletion (Pearson's syndrome)(4). To the best of our knowledge, prominent liver involvement has never been reported in patients with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) deficiency.
