Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) has previously been reported in only two patients with Leigh syndrome (LS). We report here a subject in whom LS and partial deficit of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) were associated with EPC. Epilepsy in this subject appeared when neurologic impairment was clearly evident and MRI showed cortical lesions typically associated with congenital lactic acidosis.

Abstract

Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) has previously been reported in only two patients with Leigh syndrome (LS). We report here a subject in whom LS and partial deficit of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) were associated with EPC. Epilepsy in this subject appeared when neurologic impairment was clearly evident and MRI showed cortical lesions typically associated with congenital lactic acidosis.
