PROGRESSIVE EXTERNAL OPHTHALMOPLEGIA (PEO): PRESENTATION OF A MITOCHONDRIAL MYOPATHY ACCOMPANIED BY ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
Journal Title: Journal of International Dental and Medical Research - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a mitochondrial disease, presenting findings before the age of 20 and characterized by chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and pigmentary retinal degeneration. It affects many organs, resulting in a very wide spectrum of complications. In this work, a 24-year-old female, whose complaints first started at the age of 12, showing progressing external ophthalmoplegia and diagnosed with Kearns-Sayre disease following mitochondrial changes in muscle electron microscope investigation was presented. Ways of diagnosing in mitochondrial diseases, especially those in children were tried to be evaluated.
