Keywords:

We report here a case of a 14 year old child whose disease remained undiagnosed till death, when the diagnosis of Reye’s
syndrome was established via a core needle biopsy of liver done for academic purposes. Although Reye’s syndrome is a
diagnosis of exclusion, a high index of suspicion is critical for its diagnosis.
