- Abstract: Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is known as a maternally inherited mitochondrial disease with a m.3243A>G mutation in the MT-TL1 gene. Here, we report a case of targeted temperature management in a MELAS patient who had a cardiac arrest and severe lactic acidosis after recurrent seizures.
