1. The present knowledge about the neuropathology of mitochondrial encephalomyopathies is reviewed. Three groups of patients are classified on the basis of their clinical features and neuropathological findings, such as Kearns-Sayre syndrome, MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) and MERRF (myoclonus epilepsy with ragged-red fibers). Many neuropathological reports indicate that there are characteristic neuropathological abnormalities in each group of mitochondrial encephalomyopathies. For example, Kearns-Sayre is characterized by spongy degeneration of the cerebral white matter; MELAS by infarcts-like lesions in the cerebrum; MERRF by systemic degenerative changes (mainly involving dentate-rubro-pallidolysian, olivo-ponto-cerebellar, and Friedreich-like spinal degeneration).
