A Case of Late-Onset MELAS

Kevin G. Kimata, MD; Lucio Gordan, MD; E. Todd Ajax, MD; Patricia H. Davis, MD; Thomas Grabowski, MD

Arch Neurol. 1998;55:722-725.

We describe a 60-year-old man with MELAS syndrome (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and strokelike episodes) and discuss the mitochondrial DNA point mutation 3243. A diagnosis of MELAS should be considered in the appropriate clinical setting at any age.


From the Department of Neurology, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City.
