The metabolic hypothesis is more likely than the epileptogenic hypothesis to explain stroke-like lesions

2020-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Stroke-like episodes (SLEs) are a hallmark of mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episode (MELAS) syndrome but occur in other mitochondrial disorders (MIDs) as well. The morphological equivalent of the SLE is the stroke-like lesion (SLL) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The pathophysiology of SLLs is under debate, but several hypotheses have been raised to explain the phenomenon. Of...
