Stroke-like episodes in patients with adult-onset neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease and patients with late-onset MELAS: A comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To delineate the characteristics of stroke-like episodes (SLEs) in patients with adult-onset neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) and to compare these characteristics with those of patients with MELAS.

Methods

Twenty-three adult-onset NIID patients who presented with acute or subacute brain disorders and 13 late-onset MELAS patients were enrolled in the study. Patients with NIID were categorized into the SLEs group and the encephalopathy-like episodes (ELEs) group according to the associated stroke-like lesions (SLLs) findings. Clinical characteristics were compared between the SLEs group and the ELEs group among NIID patients and between NIID patients with SLEs and MELAS patients.

Results

Eleven (47.8%) NIID patients who manifested acute or subacu
