Case Report: Late-Onset Mitochondrial Disease Uncovered by Metformin Use in a Patient With Acute Verbal Auditory Agnosia
ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient having late-onset MELAS syndrome that manifested as acute verbal auditory agnosia, which was identified after the patient began using metformin. Metformin is known to inhibit mitochondrial function and could trigger clinical features of MELAS syndrome. We encourage clinicians to maintain a high level of awareness that diabetes mellitus can be caused by mitochondrial disease and to exercise caution in the prescription of metformin.

Transient Postictal Hyperglycemia as a Diagnostic Clue of Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like Episodes
CONCLUSION: Seizure-induced stress hyperglycemia is uncommon in normal individuals, but such kind of energy crisis may be pronounced in patients with mitochondrial dysfunction. Early diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases-related epilepsy and hyperglycemia is crucial since certain antiepileptic drugs (ex. Valproic acid) and antihyperglycemic agents (ex. Metformin) are contraindicated in patients with mitochondrial diseases. Our findings support that transient postictal hyperglycemia may be a red flag to consider the diagnosis of MELAS.PMID:35266136
