In the November 4, 2022, issue of Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology in the article by León-Ruiz et al.,1 “Multiple myeloma-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy: Another important potential cause of triphasic waves” states “Encephalopathy is a rare but not less important cause of hyperammonemia in patients with MM because it is associated with high mortality (100% in those who did not receive MM-directed therapy) and requires a high level of suspicion.” This should be corrected to read “Hyperammonemia is a rare but not less important cause of encephalopathy in patients with MM because it is associated with high mortality (100% in those who did not receive MM-directed therapy) and requires a high level of suspicion.”
