Three most common mutations, namely m.11778G&gt;A, m.14484T&gt;G and m.3460G&gt;A, account for the majority of LHON cases. These mutations lead to mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I damage. Typically, LHON presents at the 15\u201335 years of age with male predominance. LHON is associated with severe, subacute, painless bilateral vision loss and account for one of the most common causes of legal blindness in young individuals. Spontaneous visual acuity recovery is rare and has been reported in patients harbouring m.14484T&gt;C mutation. Up to date LHON treatment is limited. Idebenone has been approved by European Medicines Agency (EMA) to treat LHON. However better understanding of disease mechanisms and ongoing treatment trials are promising and brings hope for patients. In this article we report on a patient diagnosed with LHON harbouring rare m.11253T&gt;C mutation in MT-ND4 gene, who experienced spontaneous visual recovery. In addition, we summarise clinical presentation, diagnostic features, and treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina57030202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,26]],"date-time":"2021-02-26T04:36:24Z","timestamp":1614314184000},"page":"202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Typical Case Presentation with Spontaneous Visual Recovery in Patient Diagnosed with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Due to Rare Point Mutation in MT-ND4 Gene (m.11253T&gt;C) and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Rasa","family":"Liutkeviciene","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Medical Academy, Eiveniu 2 str., LT-50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Neuroscience Institute, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Medical Academy, Eiveniu str. 2, LT-50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agne","family":"Sidaraite","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Medical Academy, Eiveniu 2 str., LT-50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lina","family":"Kuliaviene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Medical Academy, Eiveniu 2 str., LT-50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brigita","family":"Glebauskiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Medical Academy, Eiveniu 2 str., LT-50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3092-7451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Neringa","family":"Jurkute","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Genetics Department, Moorfields Eye Hospital, 162 City Road, London EC1V 2PD, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lina","family":"Aluzaite-Baranauskiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Medical Academy, Eiveniu 2 str., LT-50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arvydas","family":"Gelzinis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Medical Academy, Eiveniu 2 str., LT-50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Reda","family":"Zemaitiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Medical Academy, Eiveniu 2 str., LT-50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"299","DOI":"10.1016\/j.survophthal.2009.10.002","article-title":"The Neuro-Ophthalmology of Mitochondrial Disease","volume":"55","author":"Fraser","year":"2010","journal-title":"Surv.
