Multiple sclerosis is still regarded primarily as a disease of the white matter. However, recent evidence suggests that there may be significant involvement of gray matter. Here, we have used magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy in vivo and histopathology postmortem to esti

## Abstract We report a patient with an autosomal dominant chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia phenotype associated with multiple mtDNA deletions in muscle from a family in which linkage analysis excluded mutations in DNA polymerase Ξ³ (POLG), adenine nucleotide translocase (ANTβ1) or C10or
early surgical resection of epileptogenic tissue might prevent more extensive dysfunction in other tissues and allow some recovery of already dysfunctional tissues. Further investigations are warranted.
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a sporadic progressive myopathy, which is morphologically characterized by inflammatory cell infiltrates and rimmed vacuoles in muscle fibers. Mitochondrial changes are regularly present with ragged-red fibers showing deficiency of cytochrome c oxidase. In these musc
