Abstract

Leigh syndrome is a severe neurological disorder that usually becomes apparent in the first year of life. This condition is characterised by progressive loss of mental and movement abilities (psychomotor regression) and typically results in death within 2–3 years. A 6-month-old male infant was brought to ER with a complaint of irritable crying since yesterday night and had an episode of up-rolling of the eye with unresponsiveness.
