Abstract

Exotropia in a patient with CPEO was managed with bilateral medial rectus resections. Molecular genetic analysis of DNA from a skeletal muscle biopsy confirmed a deletion of the mitochondrial DNA. The resected muscle tendon was subjected to transmission electron microscopy, revealing muscle fibre variability and ragged red fibres with mitochondrial abnormalities.
