title: Partial NADH dehydrogenase defect presenting as spastic cerebral palsy.
abstract: Mitochondrial myopathies are heterogeneous disorders. They may present at any age with a variable clinical course. We report a 6-year-old boy presenting as spastic cerebral palsy for 4 years, then athetotic movements and loss of milestones. He was eventually found to have NADH dehydrogenase deficiency.
