and Introduction
متن کاملMitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS).
We report the clinical, pathological, and genetic findings of a case of MELAS syndrome. This was a man who died for metabolic failure at the age of 27 years. His familiar history was positive for hypoacusia and stroke. He was of short stature and presented mild mental retardation. Since the age of 21 he suffered from recurrent brain-ischemic lesions mainly in the occipital lobes, documented by ...
