Abstract
- Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is one of the classic mitochondrial diseases characterized by symptoms of repeated episodes of hemiparesis with mitochondrial DNA mutation. We report a rare case of early onset MELAS patient confirmed by genetic analysis with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
