dc.description.abstractMELAS syndrome (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis,
and stroke-like episode) is a rare and currently incompletely defined mitochondrial disease
involving mainly muscle and brain. We have recently seen a 17-year-old male patient who,
we believe, is the first Korean case. The patient showed the classical picture of MELAS: short
stature, generalized limb weakness, lactic acidemia, basal ganglia calcification, migraine-like
headache and recurrent strokes with subsequent hemiparesis, hemianopia, and seizures.
Electronmicroscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis by demonstrating numerous abnormal
muscle mitochondria which contained paracrystalline inclusion bodies. A brief discussion
of current status, inherent problems, and possible pathogenic mechanisms of this syndrome will conclude our report. ; MELAS증후군은 최근 기술된 사립체질환의 하나로서 사립체성 근육 및 뇌질환, 유산증, 뇌졸중양 증상 등을 특징으로 한. 저자들은 최근 우리나라의 첫 증례로 생각되는 환자를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 왜소한 체구의 17세 남자로서 근무력, 유산증, 기저핵의 석회화, 편두통양 두통, 수 회의 뇌졸증 및 이에 따른 반신마비, 시야결손, 경련 등의 증상을 나타내었다. 근육생검상 경한 근육질환이 나타났으며, 전자현미경 소견상 봉입체를 갖는 비정상적인 사립체가 관찰되었다.
