title: [The MELAS syndrome. Computed tomographic documentation of its course and magnetic resonance tomography].
abstract: This is a case report on a patient with MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes). This study documents, by CT scan, the progression of the disease for 7 years. The first CT scan was normal; all subsequent CT scans were pathological. In addition, one MRI study was done.
