Can mitochondrial encephalopathy be treated?

Patient's question:

On the eighth day, double vision and strabismus reappeared. I stayed at Wuhan Tongji Hospital for seventeen days and after discharge, I had no bowel movement for seven days, which made me very anxious about the child. So, I took them to the children's hospital for ten days, where they were diagnosed with mitochondrial encephalopathy. Hello, can mitochondrial encephalopathy be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Mitochondrial encephalopathy has triggered control symptoms in many neurological tissues of the brain, which constitutes a complex condition. Therefore, active medication and care can be implemented. There is no need for excessive tension or urgency. Appropriate anti-inflammatory measures can be taken to address inflammation in localized brain tissues. In cases where brain tissue damage occurs, surgical intervention can be considered as a treatment option. Generally, these methods can be effective, and there should be no significant issues.
