ABSTRACT
Leigh syndrome is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder; begins most commonly in infants between the ages of three months and two years. It presents with variable clinical features like swallowing difficulties, developmental delay / regression, and signs and symptoms of brain stem and/or basal ganglia involvement. Raised lactate levels in blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid and characteristic symmetrical necrotic lesions in the basal ganglia and/or brain stem on T2-weighted Magnetic resonance imaging of brain clinches the diagnosis. Here we report two siblings, who presented to us with different spectrum of clinical features.
