Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency is a slowly progressive to static neurological disorder featuring elevated concentrations of 4-hydroxybutyric acid in body fluids. We present two patients with elevated 4-hydroxybutyric acid in urine which was later shown to be linked to catheter usage.
