A rare mitochondrial disease characterized by onset of episodic developmental regression in the first year of life, often in the setting of febrile illnesses, as well as hypotonia and seizures or refractory epileptic encephalopathy. Other observed features include ataxia, dystonia, or optic atrophy, among others. Patients do not achieve independent ambulation or meaningful speech. Brain imaging may show progressive cerebellar or diffuse atrophy and signal abnormalities of the basal ganglia. Serum lactate is often elevated.
