title: [A patient with Kearns-Sayre syndrome].
abstract: In addition to ophthalmic symptoms (ptosis and retinitis pigmentosa), our patient displayed symptoms of disturbances of cardial conduction as well a mitochondrial myopathy. The latter was confirmed histologically. The order in which the symptoms of the disease appear may vary, but the close cooperation of ophthalmologist, neurologist and internist is vital in any event.
