This is supported by the reported cases of myoglobinuria in mitochondrial disorders. 4 A similar but slower mechanism may explain the relatively rapid presentation in our patient, as well as the subacute mode of presentation of other mitochondrial disorders[jnnp.bmj.com]
However, when they present in adolescence or adulthood, they tend to present with myopathic symptoms, cardiomyopathy symptoms, or both. 1 Adults may present with fatigue, proximal muscle weakness and soreness, exercise intolerance, 1 or ptosis.[jaoa.org]
It can present as an idiopathic proximal myopathy with very subtle neuropathic features. Alternately, it can present with ophthalmoplegia with very subtle myopathic changes.[onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Nevertheless, muscle biopsies from our patients disclosed no inflammation, a finding that could have supported this theory.[jnnp.bmj.com]
The presence of ragged‐red fibers in the absence of inflammation or serologic evidence for autoimmunity suggested a mitochondrial disorder.[onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
The perivascular or endomysial inflammation varied from mild to severe in the majority of patients but was not easily detectable in four zidovudine-treated patients (Patients 2, 7, 11, and 15; Table 1 ).[nejm.org]
Myopathies in Adults In practice, myopathies often have nothing to do with the mitochondrial, but are acquired or due to another cause (slide 5), including: Inflammatory (common cause) -- Polymyositis, inclusion body myositis, including cancer that causes inflammation[mitoaction.org]
In our case, bilateral symmetric proximalmuscleweakness of the extremities was the only symptom.[ommegaonline.org]
The patient had minimal objective findings, and a careful physical examination revealed mild proximalmuscleweakness, manifested more in the legs.[journals.sagepub.com]
However, when they present in adolescence or adulthood, they tend to present with myopathic symptoms, cardiomyopathy symptoms, or both. 1 Adults may present with fatigue, proximalmuscleweakness and soreness, exercise intolerance, 1 or ptosis.[jaoa.org]
The previous case reports serve to demonstrate that because mitochondrial myopathies present with proximalmuscleweakness, they can be mistaken for inflammatory myopathies. Clues that the patient has a mitochondrial myopathy are shown in Table 1.[onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
All the patients had proximalmuscleweakness, myalgia, a two- to six-fold elevation of the serum creatine kinase level (measured by an enzymatic reaction), and evidence of myopathic changes in the electromyogram, all of gradual onset, as previously reported[nejm.org]
Physical examination disclosed diffuse and pronounced muscletenderness and moderate to severe proximal limb weakness (3/5 on the MRC scale), with normal strength distally. Tendon reflexes were hypoactive.[jnnp.bmj.com]

There is a major unmet medical need for new and effective treatment options for mitochondrial myopathies since there is no specific treatment for these serious diseases.[neurovive.com]
Treatment Although there is no specific treatment for any of the mitochondrial myopathies, physical therapy may extend the range of movement of muscles and improve dexterity.[ninds.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis for patients with mitochondrial myopathies varies greatly, depending largely on the type of disease and the degree of involvement of various organs.[ninds.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis for patients with mitochondrial myopathies varies greatly, depending largely on the type of disease and the degree of involvement of various organs. These disorders cause progressive weakness and can lead to death.[brainfacts.org]

Prognosis MELAS syndrome widely varies in presentation; however, patients in general tend to have a poor prognosis and outcome. The encephalomyopathy tends to be severe and progressive to dementia.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Research over the years has identified many underlying biological abnormalities, mitochondrial dysfunction among them, but the etiology remains uncertain. 2 No intervention has been proven effective in restoring the ability to work. 3 Primary mitochondrial[journals.sagepub.com]
Other etiologies such as deconditioning, obesity, malignancy, anemia, and sleep apnea are described less frequently ( 1-4 ), and often the cause remains elusive after an aggressive evaluation ( 3 ).[atsjournals.org]

Within the mitochondrial diseases, PMM are very common but real epidemiological studies are not available yet. This is also because PMM often go misdiagnosed or undiagnosed so determining their true frequency in the general population is difficult.[rarediseases.org]
[…] inflammatory myopathies, including polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and inclusion body myositis, 2 3 and mitochondrial DNA abnormalities were recently described in patients with inclusion body myositis. 3 However, these changes are considered secondary and their pathophysiological[jnnp.bmj.com]
This makes sense from a pathophysiological point of view, because small fiber neuropathy affects small somatic fibers and autonomic fibers, being able to give sensory and autonomic symptoms.[journals.sagepub.com]
Post operative CNS dysfunction is likely in MM and pathophysiology is directly attributable to the patient’s primary pathology of dysfunctional mitochondria.[mhaus.org]

The goal is to develop a treatment that protects the mitochondria in the muscles from disturbed calcium handling and subsequent muscular dystrophy, thus preventing the muscle weakness associated with these diseases.[neurovive.com]
