Presentation
However, the focus of the book remains clinical, describing symptoms and signs at presentation, how to come to a diagnosis and methods for treatment. As with the previous edition, the book can be used in two main ways. [books.google.de]
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]

Acute Intermittent Porphyria
One form, acute intermittent porphyria, causes attacks of acute abdominal or limb pain, weakness due to peripheral neuropathy, epileptic seizures, confusion, and increased pigmentation of the skin with abnormal sensitivity to sunlight. [britannica.com]
Workup
However, every child with ASD and seizures should have a comprehensive medical workup for known medical disorders. [tacanow.org]
Treatment
However, the focus of the book remains clinical, describing symptoms and signs at presentation, how to come to a diagnosis and methods for treatment. As with the previous edition, the book can be used in two main ways. [books.google.de]
None of these treatments have undergone evaluation for efficacy for the treatment of seizures in the ASD population. [tacanow.org]
Continuation of drug treatment Maintain a high level of vigilance for adverse effects of treatment. [patient.info]
Treatment : Without treatment, MSUD can be life-threatening. With early diagnosis and prompt treatment, many patients are able to live long and relatively healthy lives. [lvhn.org]
Prognosis
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]

Etiology
Etiology Epilepsy Although these seizures are referred to as unprovoked, they may be triggered by certain provocative factors! [amboss.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 etiology (cause) of epilepsy may be idiopathic (not clearly known) or related to a particular disease state. About 35 percent of all cases of epilepsy have no clearly definable cause. [healthcommunities.com]
Rarely, episodic chorea may be psychogenic in etiology. Medical history The medical history may reveal potential causes or associations of chorea. [movementdisorders.org]

The incidence is unknown, although the epidemiological studies of the MELAS-3243 mtDNA mutation have estimated the prevalence to be 1-16/100,000 in the adult population. There is no cure or specific treatment for MELAS. [umdf.org]
Epidemiology [ 1 ] The prevalence of active epilepsy is 5-10 cases per 1,000 - but with 5-30% of these misdiagnosed as having epilepsy. [ 2 ] Epilepsy most commonly starts in children or in people older than 60 years of age. [patient.info]
Pathophysiology
Conclusion Chorea can be due to a multitude of disorders with a wide variety of pathophysiologies. [movementdisorders.org]
