Abstract
Two cases of mitochondrial myopathy are described. An electrophysiological study was also accomplished to investigate the concomitant involvement of the central nervous system (CNS), by means of evoked potentials (EP). The EPs in fact can reveal minimal signs of CNS lesions also when muscular damage is the only clinical evidence.
