      We performed neurophysiological studies in 12 patients with the Leigh syndrome (6 pathologically confirmed and 6 clinically diagnosed). The results are compared with data derived from a literature survey of 173 Leigh syndrome patients. We found no positive contribution of neurophysiological studies towards the diagnosis of the Leigh syndrome.
