title: MRI in a case of Kearns-Sayre syndrome confirmed by molecular analysis.
abstract: Few data are reported on imaging in the Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS). We present the MRI findings in a case of KSS confirmed by mitochondrial DNA molecular analysis. MRI may prove useful in detection and delineation of this disease.
