Black Toenail Sign in MELAS Syndrome.

Pediatric neurology - 1 Oct 2017

Whitehead Matthew T, Wien Michael, Lee Bonmyong, Bass Nancy, Gropman Andrea

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is a mitochondrial disorder often causing progressive brain injury that is not confined to large arterial territories. Severe insults ultimately lead to gyral necrosis affecting the cortex and juxtacortical white matter; the neuroimaging correlate is partial gyral signal suppression on T2/FLAIR sequences that...
