Abstract
Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a mitochondrial cytopathy characterized by chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, retinitis pigmentosa and heart block, the last of which determines the survival of these patients. The case of a 23 year old man with Kearns-Sayre syndrome, conduction disturbances and mitral valve prolapse is presented. The characteristics of this syndrome are described and the criteria for prophylactic installation of a pacemaker discussed.
