In 1951, Archibald Denis Leigh first described a boy with an aggravated clinical manifestation of subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy, which was later named as Leigh syndrome (LS).[1] LS is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an incidence of approximately 1/40,000.[2] The lesion is usually located in the basal ganglia and the brain stem of the patient, showing cavernous degeneration and necrosis.[3] LS occurs mainly in the 1st year of birth, especially between 3 months and 12 months.
