Abstract Biallelic variants in nuclear gene NDUFA2 have been reported so far in only three children with variable presentations including Leigh syndrome or leukoencephalopathy. Herein, we report a further female child affected by NDUFA2‐related disorder presenting with cavitating and tigroid‐like pattern of leukodystrophy and without systemic biochemical abnormalities of mitochondrial disorders.
