Distinction Between Primary And Secondary Mitochondrial Disease, Niyazov D. M

Manipal Journal of Medical Sciences

Mitochondrial disease refers to a large spectrum of disorders involving defective cellular energy production. Primary mitochondrial disease (PMD) is diagnosed clinically and by genetic testing of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA. However, many disorders have the ‘mitochondrial’ phenotype without an identifiable genetic defect. Even muscle biopsy can be markedly abnormal either due to a PMD or a non-mitochondrial disorder (NMD) affecting mitochondria and giving rise to secondary mitochondrial dysfunction (SMD). Many patients can have clinical signs of mitochondrial dysfunction based on their phenotype, biomarkers, imaging, and muscle biopsy. In these cases, it is often tempting to assign a patient’s phenotype to …

Manipal Journal of Medical Sciences

Fibromatosis colli presents in 0.4% of infants as a firm palpable mass in the middle or lower thirds of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.1 The typical age of presentation ranges between two to four weeks of life.

Ultrasonography is the initial investigation of choice. This benign condition is often treated conservatively, rarely requiring surgical intervention. Here are two cases from our centre
