Abstract
The association of pulmonary hypertensive vascular disease with nonketotic hyperglycinemia is rare. We describe 5 infants diagnosed with nonketotic hyperglycinemia, in whom pulmonary hypertensive vascular disease was the main presenting feature, and who developed severe pulmonary edema in response to pulmonary vasodilators.
