Diagnosis and follow-up of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy: CT and MR studies

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1988 Jul-Aug;12(4):696-7. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198807000-00042.

Abstract

A case of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy followed by CT and magnetic resonance is reported. Magnetic resonance showed the cortical lesions of the disease better than CT but CT was superior in demonstrating basal calcium deposits, a nearly constant element of the disease.
