  • Title: A multiple sclerosis-like illness in a man harboring the mtDNA 14484 mutation.
    Author: Bhatti MT, Newman NJ.
    Journal: J Neuroophthalmol; 1999 Mar; 19(1):28-33. PubMed ID: 10098545.
    Abstract:
    In most cases of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) the only clinical manifestation is visual loss. A multiple sclerosis-like illness has been infrequently reported in association with LHON. Most patients are women harboring the mtDNA 11778 mutation. We present a young man with clinical and paraclinical evidence of a demyelinating process with profound bilateral visual loss who harbored the mtDNA 14484 mutation associated with LHON.
