Evolution of brain imaging abnormalities in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes.

Abstract excerpt

An 18-year-old man developed consecutive homonymous hemianopias that were eventually attributed to mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). The diagnosis was initially suspected when brain CT scans showed bilateral dystrophic basal ganglia calcifications and MR spectroscopy later showed a prominent lactate peak. Diffusion-weighted MRI showed progressive evolution of...
