摘要

We present an autopsied case with A8344G‐mutated myoclonus epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF)/mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke‐like episodes (MELAS) overlap syndrome accompanied by stroke‐like episodes localized to the precentral gyrus. A 16‐year‐old Japanese woman suddenly experienced repetitive consciousness disturbances with increased serum lactate and creatine kinase levels. Magnetic resonance imaging showed abnormal intensity of bilateral precentral gyrus. She was clinically diagnosed as having a mitochondrial disorder and the A8344G mutation was detected in mitochondrial DNA. At 17?years of age, she died from congestive heart failure secondary to a third episode of lactic acidosis. Neuropatho‐logically, multifocal laminar necrosis, which is responsible for stroke‐like episodes in MELAS, was seen in the frontal cortex including the precentral gyrus, but there was no neuronal loss and gliosis in the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and brainstem, which were compatible with MERRF. Hypertrophy of the vascular smooth muscle and choroidal epithelium were seen, and were strongly visualized by an anti‐mitochondrial antibody. Skeletal muscles showed uneven muscular diameters, increased central nuclei, and ragged red fibers (RRFs). Decreased cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity and strongly succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)‐reactive blood vessels were also noted. Stroke‐like episodes in MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome are thought to be rare in the frontal cortex including the precentral gyrus. Only two cases of MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome with A8344G mutation, including this case, have shown stroke‐like episodes in the frontal lobes. Other than the A8344G mutation and frontal lobe involvement, they had a high degree of similarity in terms of presence of RRFs, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and lack of typical MERRF neuropathology. In conclusion, this is an important case describing the clinical spectrum associated with A8344G‐mutated MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome.
