Inherited Metabolic Causes of Stroke in Children: Mechanisms, Types, and Management

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
A stroke should be considered in cases of neurologic decompensation associated with inherited metabolic disorders. A resultant stroke could be a classical ischemic stroke (vascular stroke) or more commonly a “metabolic stroke.” A metabolic stroke begins ...

Stroke and Stroke-like Episodes in Muscle Disease [PDF]

The Open Neurology Journal, 2012
Though not obvious at a first glance, myopathies may be associated with ischemic stroke. Stroke-like episodes resemble ischemic stroke only to some extent but are a unique feature of certain mitochondrial disorders with a pathogenesis at variance from that of ischemic stroke.

Stroke-like episodes in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis

Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2017
We described two patients (female, 47 years and male, 42 years)with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis andstroke-like episodes (MELAS). Diagnosis was confirmed bygenetic study (A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation wasfound), muscle biopsy and ...
