Abstract
- Adult onset Leigh syndrome is a very rare neurodegenerative disorder of unknown cause. We report the evolution of the lesions on serial MRIs in a 38-year-old man with clinically diagnosed Leigh syndrome. We emphasize that the mammillary bodies can be involved during the disease course and that premortem diagnosis of Leigh syndrome is pos-sible, if a characteristic distribution of lesions can be demonstrated on MRI.
