Hypoparathyroidism as the First Mani-Festation of Kearns-Sayre Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a mitochondrial myopathy, which was first described by Tomas Kearn in 1958. Diagnostic symptoms of this condition include retinitis pigmentosa, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, and one or more of the following factors: cardiac conduction system diseases, cerebellar ataxia, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with protein content above 100 mg/dL. The nature of this uncommon disease is yet to be clarified. According to previous reports, it is uncommon to see hypoparathyroidism as the first manifestation of Kearns-Sayre syndrome. Herein, we report a case of Kearns-Sayre syndrome, with hypoparathyroidism as the first manifestation.

Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a rare mitochondrial myopathy that usually develops before 20 years of age. It demonstrates multisystemic involvement with a triad of cardinal features: progressive ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy, and cardiac conduction abnormalities. In addition, patients might have cerebellar ataxia, a high content of protein in the cerebrospinal fluid, proximal myopath...

The Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a mitochondrial myopathy characterised by ptosis, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, abnormal retinal pigmentation, and cardiac conduction defects. A unique case is reported in which there was rapid development ofprogressive congestive cardiac failure that required cardiac transplantation. A review of published reports of mitochondrial myopathy shows that...

The authors describe a rare group of symptoms, resulting in progressive external ophthalmoplegia, retinal pigment epithelial dysfunction and cardiac conduction disturbance. The illness belongs to the group of mitochondrial cytopathies. The case extends over the diagnostic possibilities, with special attention on electromyographic diagnostic, clinical symptoms, pathomechanism of the disease, and...
