MRI Findings of Leigh Disease (Subacute Necrotizing Encephlo-Myelopathy)—A Rare Case Report | Asian

LEIGH illness is a rare hereditary mitochondrial DNA abnormality that manifests in early childhood and leads to early mortality. Subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy is another name for it. The grey matter nuclei of the cerebellum, diencephalon, basal ganglia, and brainstem all show progressive deterioration. Despite the disease's high morbidity, just a few instances have been documented. As a result, we describe the case of a four-month-old girl who had fits and a change in degree of consciousness, as well as a family history of mitochondrial illnesses. Her workup was completed, and the imaging results are presented further down. The goal of this case report is to aid radiologists in the identification of LEIGH illness by commenting on the disease's particular characteristics.
