A 7-year-old boy presented with bilateral ptosis and atypical retinitis pigmentosa. Before age two, he had had an Fe-refractory anemia, with neutropenia and thrombopenia. Just prior to the ophthalmic examination, the patient developed lactate acidosis, muscular hypotonia, ataxia and increased protein in the spinal fluid. Pancytopenia, pancreas dysfunction and growth retardation are the main features of Pearson's syndrome, most children not surviving beyond age three. The cause of Pearson's syndrome in our patient turned out to be a 5 kb deletion in the mitochondrial DNA. Similar deletions have been described in the Kearns-Sayre syndrome. It seems that children who survive the initial phase of Pearson's syndrome, may develop Kearns-Sayre syndrome.
