Published: December 2006

Gait disorders and lower legs deformities in children are frequent causes of parental concern and of medical advice. These deformities should be analysed systematically as well as their consequences for daily activities. We should define precisely type, localisation and importance of the deformity: femoral or tibial torsion, knock knees, bow legs. The evaluation should always be done according to age of the child because these deformities are most often a step toward adult morphotype. Sometimes they could be the manifestation of some generalised or localised pathology that should be investigated and treated. Nevertheless patience and explanations, regular follow-up allow to reassure the parents. There is in the great majority of case no place for any conservatrice and especially surgical treatment for theses disorders spontaneously healing in 95% of cases.

Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Neurologico Carlo Besta, Medical Genetics and Neurogenetics Unit, Milan, Italy. Electronic address:

Purpose: The 6 months pilot, single arm, phase I/II, open-label clinical trial PHEMI investigated the safety and efficacy of daily administration of phenylbutyrate in reducing lactic acidosis by at least 20% in 3 children (ages 7-10 yrs) with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency and 6 adults with mitochondrial myopathy encephalopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes. As a side study, we investigated the response to phenylbutyrate treatment in skin fibroblasts and cybrids derived from PHEMI patients with the aim of unraveling a possible in vivo-in vitro correlation.

Methods: Safety was assessed through the collection of vital signs, clinical evaluations, blood samples, and reported adverse events.
