  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We report a 28-year-old man with mitochondrialencephalomyopathy with peripheral neuropathy and autonomic symptoms. Muscle biopsy from the quadriceps femoris muscle showed myopathic changes with ragged-red fibers and abnormal mito-chondria. He experienced recurrent and acute weakness in his bilateral lower limbs. Needle electromyogram revealed neurogenic changes, and the amplitude of muscle action potential was low in the right posterior tibial nerve. Sural nerve biopsy showed a marked loss of both large and small myelinated fibers, and moderate-to-severe axonaldegeneration was diagnosed.
