Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a rare genetic disorder impacting branched-chain amino acid metabolism. This mutation is tested for perinatally, but a high suspicion must be present given this entity’s significant and potentially irreversible developmental effects. Causes of mortality include cerebral edema, seizures, coma, respiratory failure, and metabolic derangements. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to reducing the morbidity and mortality of this disease. Designed for healthcare professionals, this course covers MSUD’s pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management strategies. Healthcare professionals will gain insights into early recognition, dietary therapy, acute metabolic decompensation management, and long-term care, enhancing their ability to provide optimal care for patients with MSUD. Through this activity, clinicians will be better equipped to coordinate care with interprofessional team members and contribute to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
