Clinicoradiologic Criteria for the Diagnosis of Stroke-like Episodes in MELAS
Neurology Genetics, 2023 Stroke-like episodes (SLEs) in patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome are often misdiagnosed as acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to determine unique clinical and neuroimaging features for SLEs and formulate diagnostic criteria.We retrospectively identified patients with MELAS ...
