Re: gray matter lesions in mitochondrial disorders

[Guest guest]

Barbara,

thank you so much for the research, I did indeed find similar articles. One

thing I wonder about is the articles I read describe mostly LS having grey

matter spinal findings. When I have read about my defect ( complex II/III )

it says it is associated with a leighs like syndrome seen in adults. Oddly my

son had a MRS and daughter and they have cell death or neuronal loss in the

basal ganglia, putamen and caudate heads bilaterally. This particular pattern

I read about in LS.

Do you know anything about Leigh like syndrome?

The other thing i read about is that huntigtons is associated with a II/III

defect..and has a similar MRS pattern..
