  The initial symptom of progressive hearing loss began at age 16 years. Depressive mood, anxiety and hypochondriacal complaints were observed in his clinical course. [genomebiology.biomedcentral.com]

• Proximal Muscle Weakness

  PEOB3 patients manifest adult-onset progressive external ophthalmoplegia and progressive proximal muscle weakness associated with muscle atrophy. [uniprot.org]

  Methods: Samples from a large Pakistani family with adPEO, in which clinical symptoms are bilateral ptosis, limitations of eye movements, and varying degrees of proximal muscle weakness, were collected. [neurology.org]

  weakness Ophthalmoparesis Elevated serum creatine phosphokinase Dysarthria Rare Symptoms - Less than 30% cases Increased serum lactate Slow progression Proximal muscle weakness Mitochondrial myopathy Gowers sign Myalgia Multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions [mendelian.co]

  Two patients with A475P mutation in addition to CPEO had other clinical features such as proximal muscle weakness, ataxia, neuropathy, depression or avoidant personality traits, pes cavus and tremors. [bioline.org.br]

  In addition to proximal muscle weakness, ataxia, and the eye signs, these patients have recurrent attacks of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain that mimic intestinal obstruction, starting in young adulthood. [neuroophthalmology.ca]

  A possible subcategory of this disease is associated with hypogonadism evidenced by delayed sexual maturation, primary amenorrhea, early menopause and testicular atrophy. Other features as described above may be associated. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Treatment Treatment Options: No effective treatment is available for the general disorder but consideration should be given to ptosis repair. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

KSS is slowly progressive and prognosis varies depending on severity and the number of systems or organs involved which widely varies from patient to patient. [umdf.org]

PROGNOSIS Course: Chronic, slowly progressive. COMPLICATIONS • Cardiac conduction defects • Endocrine disturbances REFERENCES 1. Cardaioli E, da Pozzo P, Malfatti E, et al. [entokey.com]

Conduction abnormalities have been successfully managed with pacemaker implantation. 6 In cases of severe cardiac dysfunction, heart transplant is an option. 28 Prognosis The visual prognosis for Kearns-Sayre syndrome is relatively good. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Therefore, when symptoms first appear, the course of the condition is very difficult to predict. [1] [6] For individuals with additional symptoms or another underlying condition associated with CPEO, the prognosis depends on the specific signs and symptoms [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

We previously reported a case of PEO with unidentified genetic etiology. The patient was born of a first-cousin marriage. Therefore, the recessive form of inheritance was suspected. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Significant pain, proptosis, or pupil involvement are not features of CPEO and should prompt evaluation for alternative etiologies. Mitochondrial DNA mutations are increasingly being recognized as the etiology for CPEO syndromes. [link.springer.com]

Etiology Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a genetic disorder most commonly due to single sporadic deletions in mitochondrial DNA. [eyewiki.aao.org]

As newly discovered mutations continue to be found, more roads to etiology and pathogenesis continue to emerge. [medlink.com]

EPIDEMIOLOGY Incidence CPEO typically have an onset in childhood or early adolescence but they can occur at any age. [entokey.com]

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • The mitochondria is responsible for production of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation, the detoxification of reactive oxygen species, regulation of cell apoptosis, and other functions such iron metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, and amino [entokey.com]

Retinal evaluation reveals disruption and atrophy of retinal photoreceptors as well as aberrant pigment distribution in all layers of the retina. 4, 5 Spongiform degeneration of the brain has been reported in multiple patients at autopsy. 6 Pathophysiology [eyewiki.aao.org]

Frequent comorbidity of mood disorders in patients of mitochondrial disease has been generally recognized [ 26 ] and several lines of evidences have supported the possible involvement of mitochondrial dysfunctions in the pathophysiology of mood disorders [genomebiology.biomedcentral.com]

Conclusion: Our study provides evidence that the investigation of mtDNA and Twinkle gene mutations in CPEO may help with early diagnosis and prevention of the disease. [bioline.org.br]

Ocular There is no definitive treatment for Kearns-Sayre syndrome although symptomatic and preventative treatments can improve quality of life. [eyewiki.aao.org]
