Criatura con sospecha de síndrome de Leigh. Dice: Tratamiento: LEV. Me he leído un tratado sobre esta enfermedad horrible, que afecta a los niños pequeños, incluso lactantes, y veo que a veces se utilizan tratamientos de vitaminas, etc., pero tiene pocas posibilidades. No sé si se tratará de litio por vía intravenosa o algo por el estilo...

| Thank you for your help. I do think that, although this is a possibility, it is not certain enough, and have asked for clarification. |

CASE REPORT
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and a written informed consent were obtained from a parent for publication of the case and the accompanying images. A 15-year-old, 45 kg adolescent was scheduled for dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia. A diagnosis of Leigh disease was made at three years of age by the characteristic clinical findings, classical radiological findings [Figure 1], and muscle biopsy. He originally presented at three years of age with generalized tonic–clonic seizures, an ataxic gait, and dysarthria. He had a twin brother who died at 14 years of age from the same disease. His only medication included once daily Keppra® (levetiracetam) to control the seizures. On physical examination, he was mentally intact, but with dysarthria and an ataxic gait.

Treatments
There is no cure for Leigh’s Disease. Treatments generally involve variations of vitamin and supplement therapies, often in a “cocktail” combination, and are only partially effective. Various resource sites include the possible usage of: thiamine, coenzyme Q10, riboflavin, biotin, creatine, succinate, and idebenone. Experimental drugs, such as dichloroacetate (DCA) are also being tried in some clinics. In some cases, a special diet may be ordered and must be monitored by a dietitian knowledgeable in metabolic disorders.
