متن کاملChronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia with inflammatory myopathy.
Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia is one of mitochondrial disorders, characterized by ptosis, limitation of eye movement, variably severe bulbar muscle weakness and proximal limb weakness. Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia complicated with acquired disease is extremely rare. We report a 44 years old male patient with more than 20 years of chronic progressive bilateral ptos...
متن کاملMitochondrial myopathy with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia.
Introduction Mitochondrial diseases are a diverse group with multisystem involvement caused by structural, biochemical or genetic derangement of mitochondria. Cerebral neurones and myocytes which require a high yield of energy are particularly vulnerable to mitochondrial dysfunction and neuromuscular manifestations are common in mitochodrial disorders. We report two cases of mitochondrial myopa...
