Abstract
Failure to thrive arises from a heterogeneous group of paediatric disorders including defects in energy metabolism such as mitochondrial diseases. Illustrating this, we describe a girl with poor growth who eluded diagnosis until she developed characteristics of Kearns-Sayre syndrome. Her history emphasises that defects of energy metabolism can present as isolated growth failure.Entities:
