Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, affecting brain and muscle, are increasingly diagnosed neurodegenerative disorders. This review covers their clinical presentation, genetics, and management in children and adults.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Mitochondrial Biology

Background:

  • Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies are a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders.
  • Characterized by ragged-red myopathy and encephalopathy, these conditions affect both children and adults.
  • Increasing recognition highlights the need for comprehensive understanding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive overview of mitochondrial encephalomyopathies.
  • To detail clinical features, historical context, and diagnostic evaluations.
  • To discuss biochemical and genetic aspects, alongside treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical, biochemical, and genetic literature.
  • Synthesis of information on diagnosis and management.
