Elderly Onset Male MELAS: A Case Report

2022-03-17

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is the most common mitochondrial disease. MELAS in the elderly onset is rarely seen. We herein describe the case of a 61-year-old male MELAS patient. He had experienced acute migraine-like headaches as the first symptoms. Laboratory data showed elevated lactate and creatine kinase levels. Brain MRI showed a high signal intensity...
