ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze MRI findings of the mitochondrial encephalopathy, in order to improve the understanding of this disease. Methods MR findings of 5 patients of clinically proved mitochondrial encephalopathy were retrospectively analyzed. Results Brain parenchymal lesions in all patients were low intensity on T1WI and high signal intensity on T2WI. One patient had bilateral globus pallidus involvement, while involvement of gray matter and white matter were observed in 4 patients. Three patients had enlargement of supratentorial ventricles, 2 patients had cerebellar atrophy and 1 patient had bilateral basal galia calcification. Conclusion MRI can show the intracranial lesions in patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy clearly, but accurate diagnosis should depend on clinical data.
