Reversible cerebral artery constriction accompanied with stroke-like episode in MELAS: A case series

The pathophysiology of stroke-like episode (SLE) in mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) was uncertain, though mitochondrial metabolic crisis of cortical neurons and mitochondrial proliferation in small vessels of brain have been considered. However, the involvement of major cerebral vessels was debated. We aimed to investigate whether major cerebral vessels participate in SLE.
