摘 要:Background: Mitochondrial cytopathies (MCs) are a heterogeneous group of clini cal entities, some of which have classic phenotypes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported to be helpful in the diagnosis of MC. Objective: To corr elate the most common brain MRI findings reported in patients with MC with the c linical findings in patients in different MC subgroups. Design: Case series. Set ting: Patients with MCs seen at the Instituto National de Ciencias Médicas y Nu tritin Salvador Zubirn, Mexico City, Mexico. Patients: Twenty-one patients with MC with the following phenotypes: chronic progressive external ophthalmople gia (n=7), Kearns-Sayre syndrome (n=7), mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal enc ephalopathy (n=6), and myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fiber myopathy (n=1). Results: Brain MRI abnormalities were found in 20 (95%) of 21 patients. The mos t frequent abnormalities were widespread white matter hyperintensity in 19 patie nts (90%), supratentorial cortical atrophy in 18 patients (86%), and cerebella r atrophy in 13 patients (62%). Widespread white matter hyperin tensity (P < .001) and supratentorial cortical atrophy (P=.001) were each corr elated significantly with MC. Subsequent subgroup analyses showed that the absen ce of basal ganglia hyperintensity was correlated with Kearns-Sayre syndrome (P < .001) and the presence of supratentorial cortical atrophy was correlated with mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy (P=.005). Conclusions: The p resence of widespread white matter hyperintensity and/or supratentorial cortical atrophy in brain MRI may help to establish the diagnosis of MC. The radiologist has a role to play in the workup of MC by confirming the diagnosis and possibly distinguishing different subgroups of MC.Background: Mitochondrial cytopathies (MCs) are a heterogeneous group of clini cal entities, some of which have classic phenotypes.
