Abstract
We assessed the utility of near-infrared spectroscopy to evaluate neonates with mitochondrial disorders. We observed abnormally high cerebral oxygen saturation levels indicating insufficient tissue oxygen utilization. We propose that near-infrared spectroscopy may be an additional tool in the diagnostic evaluation of a suspected mitochondrial disorder.Entities:
