Extractions: If a diagnosis of Kearns Sayre syndrome is suspected, two tests can be done. One is to check the protein and lactate levels in the cerebrospinal fluid; if the syndrome is present, the levels are elevated. The other test would be to examine a muscle sample (biopsy), looking to see if the DNA in the mitochondria is abnormal.

Extractions: Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a rare neuromuscular disorder with onset usually before the age of 20. It is the result of abnormalities in the DNA of mitochondria - small rod-like structures found in every cell of the body that produce the energy that drives cellular functions. The mitochondrial diseases correlate with specific DNA mutations that cause problems with many of the organs and tissues in the body. KSS is characterized by progressive limitation of eye movements until there is complete immobility, accompanied by eyelid droop. It is also associated with abnormal accumulation of pigmented material on the membrane lining the eyes. Additional symptoms may include mild skeletal muscle weakness, heart block (a cardiac conduction defect), short stature, hearing loss, an inability to coordinate voluntary movements (ataxia), impaired cognitive function, and diabetes. Seizures are infrequent. Several endocrine disorders can be associated with KSS.

Extractions: Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a rare neuromuscular disorder with onset usually before the age of 20. It is characterized by progressive external ophthalmoplegia (paralysis of the eye muscles) and mild skeletal muscle weakness. It may also be associated with other manifestations such as retinal pigmentation (abnormal accumulation of pigmented material on the membrane lining the eyes), cardiac conduction defects, short stature, hearing loss, increased cerebrospinal fluid protein, inability to coordinate voluntary movements (ataxia), impaired cognitive dysfunction, diabetes, and other endocrine disorders. Is there any treatment?
