  • Title: [MELAS syndrome with pure vascular manifestation?].
    Author: Drouet A, Mousson B, Carrier H, Baverel G, Ribot C.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1997 Oct; 153(10):591-4. PubMed ID: 9684024.
    Abstract:
    Two stroke-like episodes then a grand mal seizure occurred within nine years in a 42-year-old patient. Neuroradiological findings (CT-scan and MRI) led to the diagnosis of incomplete MELAS syndrome. MRI with T2-weighted images (TR: 1000ms; TE: 35ms) showed two small asignal lesions possibly resulting from hemosiderine. Metabolic studies are required to help decide on muscular biopsies. Histological findings are needed for diagnosis of this form of mitochondrial cytopathy with only stroke-like manifestations.
