Prolonged misdiagnosis of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome: A case report.

Medicine - 24 Nov 2023

Wang Yun, Zhang Weimin, Jiang Xuandong

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is a subset of rare mitochondrial diseases characterized by diverse clinical manifestations, which often complicates its diagnosis. PATIENT CONCERNS: This report chronicles the experiences of a 14-year-old female patient who underwent multiple misdiagnoses before the eventual identification of MELAS syndrome....
