- Title
Exophthalmos associated with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia.
- Abstract
CPEO may not only be due to single mtDNA deletions but also due to multiple mtDNA deletions, mtDNA depletions, and point mutations in mtDNA or nDNA located genes. The aim of the study to calculate the incidence of exophthalmus in Japanese CPEO patients is discordant with the study design. We read with interest the article by Takeda et al. on a case series of seven patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) due to a single mtDNA deletion who also developed exophthalmus [1].
