International audience. Mitochondrial complex I (CI) deficiencies (OMIM 252010) are the commonest inherited mitochondrial disorders in children. Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase 9 (ACAD9) is a flavoenzyme involved chiefly in CI assembly and possibly in fatty acid oxidation. Biallelic pathogenic variants result in CI dysfunction, with a phenotype ranging from early onset and sometimes fatal mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic acidosis to late-onset exercise intolerance. Cardiomyopathy is often associated. We report a patient with childhood-onset optic and peripheral neuropathy without cardiac involvement, related to CI deficiency. Genetic analysis revealed compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in ACAD9, expanding the clinical spectrum associated to ACAD9 mutations. Importantly, riboflavin treatment (15 mg/kg/day) improved long-distance visual acuity and demonstrated significant rescue of CI activity in vitro.
