A Patient With Kearns Sayre Syndrome and Charcot-Marie-Tooth for Supraventricular Tachycardia Ablation: A Case Report
We report a 52-year-old man diagnosed with variants of KSS and CMT presenting for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) ablation. This is the first report of successful perioperative management of a general anesthetic in a patient with both KSS and CMT.

Significance of Asymptomatic Hyper Creatine-Kinase Emia

Anesthetic considerations for renal transplant surgery in patients with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome: a case report
Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome is a progressive syndrome with variable involvement of multiple-organ systems. These patients require special consideration for preoperative optimization, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. The medical literature regarding perioperative management of these patients relies heavily on case reports. Here we present a novel experience providing care for a patient with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome who underwent renal transplantation for focal segmental glomerulo...

Characteristics of anesthesia in patients with MELAS syndrome : Case report of anesthesia in video-assisted thoracoscopy.
Abstract The mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is a disease triggered by a disorder in energy production within mitochondria. The cause of this syndrome is a mutation in the mitochondrial DNA where in 80 % of cases an A-to-G mutation is present at nucleotide 3243 and with a prevalence of 18.4/100,000 in the population. Predominantly affected are organ systems with a high energy metabolism, such as the heart, brain and musculature. During the premedication visit a thorough patient history and examination with respect to neurological impairments must ...

Mitochondrial diseases and anesthesia: a literature review of current opinions.
Abstract This course explores the considerations that the anesthesia provider has to be aware of, when caring for a patient with a mitochondrial myopathy. Even though these disorders are rare, these patients may also need surgical care, requiring that the anesthesia provider be informed of the best anesthesia options to consider. A narrative review of documented cases and their outcomes is used to generate a resource of current opinions in the anesthetic care of this patient population. PMID: 23923677 [PubMed - in process]
