Mitochondrial stroke-like episodes: The search for new therapies
A mitochondrial stroke-like event is an evolving subacute neurological syndrome linked to seizure activity and focal metabolic brain derangement in a genetically determined mitochondrial disorder. The acronym "MELAS" (mitochondrial encephalopathy associated with lactic acidosis and stroke-like lesions) identifies subjects with molecular, biochemical ...

Systemic Sarcoidosis Presenting with Headache and Stroke-Like Episodes [PDF]
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder. Neurological manifestations as a presenting symptom are relatively rare. A 26-year-old male presented with a five-week history of headache suggestive of raised intracranial pressure. He subsequently developed transient episodes of mild right-sided hemiparesis and numbness. Magnetic resonance imaging (
