Epilepsia partialis continua associated with a homoplasmic mitochondrial tRNA(Ser(UCN)) mutation.

Annals of neurology - 1 Oct 1998

Abstract excerpt

Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a rare epileptic syndrome characterized by continuous focal seizures. We report on a 16-year-old girl who died of prolonged pharmacoresistant EPC in whom we identified a 7472insC mutation within the mitochondrial transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)(ser(UCN)). Additional symptoms included ataxia, lactic acidosis, myopathy, sensorineural hearing loss, severe headaches, and mental...
