Mitochondrial diseases are heterogeneous and multifaceted, and can present at any age. [bcmj.org]

Many metabolic disorders present in the newborn period or shortly thereafter. Patients may present later, for example during intercurrent illnesses. [rch.org.au]

Seizures due to metabolic disorders present diagnostic as well as therapeutic challenges, however. Close collaboration between the neurologist and the medical specialist is essential in the care of the patient with seizures of metabolic origin. [epilepsy.com]

In the management of any child with a developmental disability, the guiding principle should always be to uncover the primary etiology, which will determine available treatment options, prognosis, and opportunities for preventing a recurrence of the disease [epilepsy.com]

The prognosis for MELAS is poor. Typically, the age of death is between 10 to 35 years, although some patients may live longer. [umdf.org]

PROGNOSIS Prognosis depends upon which disorder, which symptoms and the severity of those symptoms. Some of the conditions we thought were uniformly progressive and fatal are not (Leigh syndrome, for example). [childneurologyfoundation.org]
