Stroke Mimic Unveiling MELAS Syndrome: A Case of Genetic and Histologic Confirmation

2026-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: MELAS syndrome (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes) is a rare mitochondrial disorder that is frequently mistaken for ischemic stroke or viral encephalitis, particularly when it presents in adulthood. Case presentation: A 40-year-old man with progressive sensorineural hearing loss and a maternal history of early-onset hearing loss prese...
