Leigh syndrome (LS) is a severe progressive neurodegenerative disease with symmetric necrotic lesions in the basal ganglia and brainstem due to mitochondrial dysfunction. LS is characterized by highly variable clinical features, including neurological symptoms, cardiac failure, hepatic failure, muscle symptoms, and digestive organ symptoms (1). Although there are some reports of acute pancreatitis in mitochondrial disease patients (2), there are few reports of LS patients. Additionally, since a high rate of psychomotor developmental delay is observed with LS, patients often cannot complain of symptoms indicative of pancreatitis, such as abdominal pain (3). Herein, we report the case of a LS patient with recurrent pancreatitis, emphasizing on her clinical features at admission. The informed consent for this case report was obtained from the patient’s parents.The patient was born at term with a birth weight of 3,096 g to non-consanguineous healthy parents. During infancy, she showed seizures and was diagnosed with LS based on elevated lactate levels, brain magnetic resonance imaging findings, and genetic analysis (homoplasmic m. 8993T> G variant). Treatment with antiepileptic drugs, including phenobarbital, zonisamide, and clobazam, and mitochondrial cocktail, including thiamine, riboflavin, cobalamin, ascorbic acid, ubiquinone, and levocarnitine, was initiated after confirmation of diagnosis. At age 1, tube feeding was initiated to address difficulties in oral intake. At age 10, tracheostomy was performed because of recurrent respiratory infections. At age 11, the patient presented with tachycardia, peripheral coldness, and diarrhea. Observing increased pancreatic enzyme levels and pancreatic enlargement without gallstones on computed tomography, we diagnosed acute pancreatitis. Duodenal tube feeding was initiated to prevent pancreatitis recurrence. Nonetheless, the patient had four to five episodes of pancreatitis
