The pattern of bilateral optic atrophy in our patient with MEPAN syndrome shows predilection for the papillomacular bundle, similar to that seen in other mitochondrial disorders with optic neuropathy, such as Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy and Dominant Optic Atrophy. Our patient's external ophthalmoplegia is another neuro-ophthalmic finding that may be seen in patients with heritable mitochondrial disease, either as an isolated ocular phenotype or within a constellation of systemic manifestations.
