Introduction: Isovaleric acidemia is a type of autosomal recessive inborne errors of metabolism (IEM) that caused by mutation of Isovaleric-CoA dehydrogenase. Two phenotypes of IVA was reported: acute and chronic.
Case presentation: The case was a 3- year- old boy with chronic intermittent presentation. Elevated 3-Hydroxybutyric acid and Isovaleric glycine in urinary acid profile was reported. We also performed a brief review about the presented case report; IVA on international databases for English language articles in children.
Conclusion: There are some manners to screen IVA patients and the best one is GC-MS in urine analysis. The prognosis of the disease is dependent on the early interventions.

Keywords: Isovaleric acidemia, chronic phenotype, Isovaleric-CoA dehydrogenase
