Profiles of paediatric patients experiencing stroke-like episodes associated with mitochondrial disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionStroke-like episodes (SLE) are defined as events characterized by the sudden onset of neurological symptoms with clinical manifestations similar to those of a stroke.

Antiepileptics and NO-precursors may be beneficial for stroke-like episodes

eNeurologicalSci, 2019
Pathogenesis and management of stroke-like episodes in mitochondrial disorders is under debate and no consensus has been reached thus far how this phenomenon should be managed. Frequently applied are nitric oxide (NO) precursors but a well-designed study

Neuroimaging pattern and pathophysiology of cerebellar stroke-like lesions in MELAS with m.3243A>G mutation: a case report

BMC Neurology, 2020
Background Stroke-like episodes (SLEs) in mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) with m.3243A > G mutation usually develop in the cerebral cortex. Few reports have documented SLEs in the cerebellum.

Rheumatoid meningitis presenting with stroke-like episodes [PDF]

Neurology, 2014
Neurologic symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are most often caused by osseous compression, affecting the cervical spine or peripheral neurologic structures. CNS involvement in RA is infrequent, consisting of CNS vasculitis or meningitis with or without meningeal nodules.(1) When meningeal infiltration is seen, symptoms of presentation
