【 摘 要 】

Leigh's disease is a rare entity affecting the central nervous system generally of infants, incidence being 1 in 40,000. Rarely, it occurs in teenagers and adults.??The diagnosis is difficult and still continues to challenge the clinicians on the basis of history; hence the role of imaging is very crucial. The neuropathy encountered in the disease is commonly associated with features of demyelination, presenting rarely in acute form. A case of Juvenile Leigh Disease is reported here presenting with an acute polyneuropathy. Neuroimaging confirmed it to be a case of Leigh disease. "
