MELAS syndrome is a distinct clinical entity belonging to a group of mitochondrial encephalomyopathies characterized by the tetrad of myopathy, encephalopathy,lactic acidosis,and stroke-like episodes.Computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance(MR)findings are reviewed in a patient with MELAS.Serial CT studies demonstrated multiple"migrating"infarcts in various stages of evolution involving primarily the posterior temporal and occipital regions.MR was more sensitive than CT in demonstrating the number and extent of cortical lesions in this disease entity. |
