Adult-onset mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS): a diagnostic challenge. [PDF]
Rare causes of stroke-like presentations can be difficult to diagnose. We report a case of a man in his 40s who first presented with stroke symptoms, but whose clinical course was not typical for a stroke.

Neuroimaging of stroke-like episodes in MELAS
Brain and Development, 2011Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) shows sudden neurological deficits that are called 'stroke-like episodes'. With regard to the pathophysiology of stroke-like episodes, so-called mitochondrial angiopathy and cytopathy theories have been proposed, but the subject is still controversial.
