Abstract
A 7-year-old boy with family history of consanguinity presented with developmental delay and recurrent hemiplegia involving both sides of the body, with variable facial and ocular involvement. Brain MRI showed bilateral striatal necrosis with cystic degeneration and lactate peaks on spectroscopy. Biochemical testing demonstrated mildly elevated lactate and pyruvate. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous pathogenic frameshift mutation in gene TTC19, diagnostic of mitochondrial complex III deficiency.
