The diagnosis of MELAS is usually suspected on clinical grounds. However, confirmation of the diagnosis usually requires a muscle or brain biopsy. The muscle biopsy shows characteristic ragged red fibers; Brain biopsy shows stroke-like changes. And look for serum creatinine kinase and lactic acid in blood and CSF
