Leigh syndrome
Abstract
Leigh syndrome is an under-recognized inherited neurometabolic and subacute necrotizing syndrome. The symptoms of Leigh syndrome are classically described as beginning in infancy. Symmetrical necrosis areas are located in the brain column and basal ganglion. Severe brain function, visual acuity, muscle tone and respiratory disturbances occur in the course of the syndrome. Until now, treatment is unclear and the patient is dying of severe respiratory failure.
