摘要：

Porphyrias are rare hereditary metabolic disorders caused by the inactivity of certain enzymes that participate in heme synthesis. We report 3 cases in which porphyria debuted with acute episodes in young patients. As is often the case, diagnosis was delayed, and intensive care was required for severe encephalopathy. Symptoms improved rapidly after hemin therapy was started, but peripheral polyneuropathy persisted for several months in 1 patient. We report the first case of a porphyria-related seizure triggered by use of the morning-after pill (levonorgestrel). [Emergencias 2012;24:454-458]
