AbstractIntroduction Leigh Syndrome is an uncommon cause of infantile apnea.Case summary We report a 5-month-old girl with suddenrespiratory arrest followed by episodic hyper- and hypoventilation,encephalopathy, and persistent lactic acidosis.Computed tomography of the brain revealed symmetric low densities over the basal ganglia, internal capsule, thalami,and midbrain. Cardiac echocardiogram was suggestive of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Discussion Diagnosis of Leigh syndrome due to T8993G mutation was confirmed with polymerase chain reaction and direct DNA sequencing of mitochondrial genome. To our knowledge, this is the first report of proven maternally inherited Leigh syndrome in Hong Kong. © Springer-Verlag 2009.
