Abstract

Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare hereditary metabolic disorder with heme biosynthesis. Because of the wide and non-specific symptomatology of porphyria, diagnosis of porphyria is often missed or usually misdiagnosed as polyneuropathy or encephalopathy, or psychiatric disease. This case report is a reminder to physicians regarding porphyric neuropathy and psychiatric involvement associated with porphyria.
