Partial NADH dehydrogenase defect presenting as spastic cerebral palsy

Brain Dev. 1994 Sep-Oct;16(5):393-5. doi: 10.1016/0387-7604(94)90127-9.

Abstract

Mitochondrial myopathies are heterogeneous disorders. They may present at any age with a variable clinical course. We report a 6-year-old boy presenting as spastic cerebral palsy for 4 years, then athetotic movements and loss of milestones. He was eventually found to have NADH dehydrogenase deficiency.
