“…MRI shows white matter lesions, mainly involving the frontal and parietal lobes and the deep white matter, and features of agenesis of the corpus callosum or diffuse brain atrophy ( Simon et al, 2015 ; Sofou et al, 2015 ; Vanlander et al, 2015 ; Mizuguchi et al, 2017 ; Souza et al, 2017 ; Seaver et al, 2018 ; Han et al, 2019 ; Lee et al, 2020 ; Štěrbová et al, 2021 ; Tanaka et al, 2022 ; Vafaee-Shahi et al, 2022 ; Yagasaki et al, 2022 ; Yang et al, 2022 ; Zhang et al, 2022 ). The characteristics of Leigh syndrome can be observed in some patients’ brain MRI or autopsy results, including symmetric long T2 abnormal signals in the brain stem or the putamen or atrophy of the corpus callosum with lamellar necrosis and vacuolization ( Simon et al, 2015 ; Tanaka et al, 2022 ). In addition, a few cases may be accompanied by renal dysfunction or elevated liver enzymes, possibly leading to a clinical misdiagnosis of Alpers syndrome ( Seaver et al, 2018 ).…”
