KEARNE SAYRE  SYNDROME

Kearns-Sayre Syndrome (KSS) is a rare mitochondrial disorder characterized by:

  1. Progressive external ophthalmoplegia: Weakness or paralysis of the eye muscles.
  2. Pigmentary retinopathy: Degeneration of the retina.
  3. Cardiac conduction defects: Abnormal heart rhythms.

Other symptoms may include:

  1. Muscle weakness
  2. Hearing loss
  3. Endocrine disorders

KSS typically presents before age 20. Management involves monitoring and treating symptoms, as there’s no cure. Consult a neurologist or geneticist for guidance.
