Association between stroke-like episodes and neuronal hyperexcitability in MELAS with m.3243A>G: A case report

• The pathophysiology of the stroke-like episodes of MELAS has not completely been elucidated. • Here we report a case of stroke-like episodes, successfully treated with levetiracetam. • Neuronal hyperexcitability can be the underlying mechanism of stroke-like episodes in MELAS.
