Mitochondrial diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders caused by defects in intracellular energy production. Due to this heterogeneity, it is not surprising that multiple systematic approaches to diagnosis exist; all of which use a combination of clinical, biochemical and structural criteria. Several distinct syndromes have been recognized with variable clinical and imaging phenotypes, including Leigh's syndrome, Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS), mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic acidosis and strokelike episodes (MELAS). In this exhibit, we discuss imaging morphology of various mitochondrial disease with emphasis on imaging protocol and diagnostic approach. Read More
