| Core Tip |
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is a multimitochondrial disease caused by DNA mutations and respiratory chain defects that is frequently misdiagnosed. Here, we describe a 58-year-old patient with MELAS syndrome who initially presented with acute cognitive impairment, tinnitus, and headache and was subsequently misdiagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis. The final diagnosis was based on MELAS mutation blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging results. The patient was treated with appropriate medication and gradually improved. This case shows that MELAS syndrome should be diagnosed only after other causes, including autoimmune encephalitis, have been ruled out and the atypical clinical features of MELAS syndrome, such as older age of onset, have been considered. |
