Abstract
SAMPEDRO, A. et al. Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2009, vol.84, n.7, pp.359-361. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We described the follow up of a patient with diabetes mellitus type 2 who had a macular pattern dystrophy and bilateral neurosensory hearing loss. Electrophysiological studies revealed abnormal pattern electroretinography and impaired electro-oculogram responses. Discussion: Maternally Inherited Diabetes, neurosensory Deafness and generally macular pattern distrophy (MIDD syndrome), is a rare mitochondrial disease, responsible for approximately 0.5 to 2.8% of diabetes mellitus.
Keywords : Diabetes; deafness; mitochondrial diseases; mitochondrial DNA; macular dystrophy.
