Computed tomography and angiography in MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes); report of 3 cases.

Among mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes, Pavlakis et al. 1983) is recognized as a distinct syndrome characterized by generalized convulsions and recurrent stroke-like episodes. The neuroradiological findings of three patients with MELAS are reported here. Retrospective review shows that MELAS should be included in the differential diagnosis of infarct-like lesions of the cerebrum.

Biochemical studies in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.

The alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex and its component enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate carboxylase, cytochrome c oxidase, succinate-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, and the concentration of cytochromes and enzymes of beta-oxidation in muscle from a patient with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes were studied and no specific defect was found. These results raise the possibility that the mitochondrial changes in the patient may be secondary.
