Wernicke Encephalopathy Mimicking MELAS
CONCLUSIONS: the case suggests that thiamine deficiency presumably causes mitochondrial dysfunction with cerebrospinal fluid lactic acidosis and a stroke-like lesion mimicking MELAS syndrome. It should be further studied whether nutritional deficits, such as thiamine deficiency, could give rise to secondary stroke-like lesions.PMID:35630076 | PMC:PMC9144475 | DOI:10.3390/medicina58050660
