Three siblings who suffered from progressive mental retardation, seizures, and rigidity showed degeneration of the cerebral cortex. This was manifested by severe to complete neuronal loss with astrogliosis and microgliosis. In one child a brain biopsy was performed at the age of 3 months. The only lesion found was large disorganized perinuclear mitochondria in the neurones. The possibility that the cerebral poliodystrophy is due to an inherited mitochondrial disorder is discussed.
三名患有进行性智力迟钝、癫痫发作和强直的兄弟姐妹出现了大脑皮质退化。这表现为严重至完全的神经元丧失,并伴有星形胶质细胞增生和小胶质细胞增生。在一名儿童3个月大时进行了脑活检。发现的唯一病变是神经元中核周线粒体大而紊乱。本文讨论了脑灰质营养不良是由遗传性线粒体疾病引起的可能性。
