Abstract
Leigh disease is a clinically heterogeneous and infrequent disorder in the pediatric age group. Inheritance is variable. It results from a genetic defect producing deficiencies in enzyme complexes and functional disturbance of the mitochondria. The prognosis is poor and effective treatment is lacking. We present the case of a 1-month-old boy with early manifestation and rapid progression of Leigh disease due to deficiency of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I, III and IV.
