This report shares the story of an adult who had repeated seizures, nerve pain, and high blood pressure. Doctors found the cause was a tiny change in their DNA. This case shows that doctors should think about Leigh syndrome in adults with these signs and certain brain scan results. A simple DNA test is the best way to find out for sure.
