MITOCHONDRIAL ENCEPHALOMYOPATHY LACTIC ACIDOSIS STROKE LIKE EPISODE MELAS
Abstract
MELAS-Mitochondrial EncephaloMyopathy Lactic acidosis and Stroke like episode. It is a rare disorder that begin in childhood and early adult period, usually between 2-20 yrs of age and usually affects the nervous system and muscle, caused by mutation in mitochondrial DNA, more of maternal inheritance affects only male. The most common early symptoms are seizure, headache, loss of appetite, vertigo, stroke like episode, hemipaeresis. We present a case with this disease with salient features of MELAS
