Abstract
Leigh disease, also known as subacute necrotising encephalomyelopathy (SNE), is a rare inherited progressive neurometabolic life threatening mitochondrial disorder. Early diagnosis and early treatment will help in reducing both morbidity and mortality associated with this disorder. We report a 2.5 months old Indian infant with clinical, biochemical and radiological features of Leigh Disease. This is the first case report of a child with Leigh Disease of early onset.
