ABSTRACT
Hypertension is a rare complication of Leigh Syndrome (LS), but prognosis of patients with hypertension is poor and its presence is indicative of the terminal stage of the disease. Herein, we report a four-year-old girl case diagnosed with LS at 15 months of age who subsequently developed severe hypertension and respiratory failure. Physical examination and laboratory findings did not indicate a secondary cause of hypertension. Her respiratory failure was treated with non-invasive ventilation and hypertension controlled with enalapril, furosemide and spironolactone. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a patient with LS recovering from severe hypertension.
