Neonatal mitochondrial disease is occasionally observed in patients with intraventricular cysts in the brain. Atypical morphology is rarely seen in these cysts. Here, we report a case of neonatal lethal mitochondrial disease with gene mutation. We have, for the first time, described a subependymal pseudocyst (SEPC) with a fluctuating membrane. Our findings suggest that SEPCs with fluctuating membranes can be a potential diagnostic indicator of neonatal mitochondrial disease.
新生儿脑室内囊肿偶尔会并发线粒体疾病,这种囊肿形态通常不典型。本研究报道了一例由 基因突变导致的新生儿致死性线粒体疾病。首次描述了具有波动性膜的室管膜下假囊肿(SEPC)。研究结果提示,具有波动性膜的 SEPC 可能是新生儿线粒体疾病的潜在诊断指标。
