    <abstract locale="en_US">Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a rare mitochondrial disease that presents before the age of 20 years with ptosis, external ophthalmoplegia, and pigmentary retinopathy associated with endocrine and cardiac conduction abnormalities. Here we report an 18-year-old female presenting with fever, cough, secondary amenorrhea, diabetes&#xA0;ptosis, external ophthalmople gia, and ataxia . Fundosc opy revealed pigmen tary&#xA0;retinopathy. ECG showed intraventricular conduction abnormalities, and 2D echocardiography revealed global left ventricular hypokinesia with reduced ejection&#xA0;fraction. Hence, the diagnosis of Kearns-Sayre syndrome was made.</abstract>
