High CSF lactate and pyruvate content in Kearns-Sayre syndrome
Neurology
|February 1, 1984
Abstract:
We studied lactate and pyruvate concentrations in CSF and blood of a patient with Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS), 3 patients with ocular myopathy and 11 normal control subjects. We found significant elevation of lactate and pyruvate in the CSF of the patient with KSS, suggesting a disorder of CNS lactate-pyruvate metabolism.
