Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil in a patient with MELAS syndrome -A case report- [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010
A 23-year-old woman with MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes) underwent a laparoscopy-assisted appendectomy. MELAS syndrome is a multisystemic disease caused by mitochondrial dysfunction.

Monozygotic twins with MELAS-like syndrome lacking ragged red fibers and lactacidaemia

, 1996
Typical cases of MELAS present a combination of clinical and neuroradiological features, lactacidaemia, and ragged red fibers (RRFs) in striated muscle. We have observed a MELAS-like syndrome in monozygotic twins.

Topological reorganization of brain functional networks in patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke‐like episodes

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2020
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke‐like episodes (MELAS) is a rare maternally inherited genetic disease; however, little is known about its underlying brain basis. Furthermore, the topological organization of brain functional

Patent foramen ovale leading to mismanagement in a mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke‐like episodes patient

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Key Clinical Message The stroke‐like episodes and brain MRI lesions in MELAS usually have a nonischemic pattern, are resolved over time, and have a migrating pattern that helps us distinguish them from ischemic cerebral infarcts. Nevertheless, conditions

MRI Features of Stroke-Like Episodes in Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy With Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-Like Episodes

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Mitochondrial myopathy encephalopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is an important cause of stroke-mimicking diseases that predominantly affect patients before 40 years of age. MELAS results from gene mutations in either mitochondrial
