Black Toenail Sign in MELAS Syndrome

Pediatric Neurology, 2017
Mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is a mitochondrial disorder often causing progressive brain injury that is not confined to large arterial territories. Severe insults ultimately lead to gyral necrosis affecting the cortex and juxtacortical white matter; the neuroimaging correlate is partial ...

MELAS: A Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy Syndrome

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1995
MELAS, a syndrome characterized by Myopathy, Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-like episodes, is one of a group of diseases known as mitochondrial encephalopathies. These genetically-transmitted diseases result in metabolic abnormalities associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, which contribute to neuronal destruction.

Response to sumatriptan in headache of MELAS syndrome

Neurology, 2003
Migraine-like headache is the most common presenting symptom of stroke-like episode in patients with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS).1,2⇓ This study was designed to investigate the mechanism of headache in patients with MELAS and based on our recent report that neuronal hyperexcitability might ...

Sensorineural hearing loss in MELAS syndrome

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1997
AbstractA case of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in MELAS syndrome, a variety of mitochondrial cytopathy, is presented. Mitochondrial cytopathies have gone almost unreported in the otolaryngology literature, despite evidence from a recent review that about 60 per cent of such patients suffer from SNHL (Gold and Rapin, 1994). The same review revealed

Statins Provoking MELAS Syndrome

European Neurology, 2007
<i>Background:</i> Statins inhibit the production of 2,3-dimethoxy,5-methyl,6-polyisoprene parabenzoquinone also known as ubiquinone or coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is required for mitochondrial electron transport. Idiopathic or primary CoQ10 deficiencies have been known to cause mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.
