 Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies (MEMP) are clinically characterized by muscle fatigability, progressive muscle weakness, mental deterioration and occasional lactic acidemia. In these disorders, a number of enzyme defects have been found including carnitine and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) deficiencies, and defects in the electron transport system. The ragged-red fibers (RRF) in the muscle biopsies, a diagnostic finding for MEMP, are well demonstrated by modified Gomori trichrome stain. They are stained dark on NADH-TR, succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), AMP deaminase, and nonspecific esterase. In the advanced RRF, the lipid droplets and PAS-positive granules are increased in amount. RRF are commonly recognizable in MEMP from defects in the electron transport system, especially in complex I deficiency, but rarely in PDHC and carnitine deficiencies.
