Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (acquired or congenital abnormal cortical development). Early myoclonic epileptic encephalopathy (possibly due to metabolic disorders). Gluten encephalopathy: Focal abnormalities of the white matter (generally area of low perfusion) are appreciated through magnetic resonance. Migraine is the most common ...
MELAS is a condition that affects many of the body's systems, particularly the brain and nervous system (encephalo-) and muscles (myopathy). In most cases, the signs and symptoms of this disorder appear in childhood following a period of normal development. [4]

[30] Various mechanisms are proposed, like alterations to the vascular supply of the brain, or changes in cerebral function and structure, including cognitive impairment, cerebral signal conduction, neurotransmission, and ...
During metabolic crisis, moderate hyperammonemia, [7] hypoglycemia, and metabolic acidosis have been noted. [17] There is a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from cardiomyopathy, developmental delays, [4] leukodystrophy, necrotizing encephalopathy, respiratory failure, hypotonia, [6] cerebral palsy and failure to thrive. [17]
Severe, sudden metabolic acidosis is a common cause of mortality. [16] Estimates of the rate of genetic carriers in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region range from 1 in 23 to 1 in 28; the number of children born with the disease has been estimated at 1 in 2063 to 1 in 2473 live births. Genealogic studies suggest that the responsible mutation ...
The treatment of hepatic encephalopathy depends on the suspected underlying cause (types A, B, or C) and the presence or absence of underlying causes. If encephalopathy develops in acute liver failure (type A), even in a mild form (grade 1–2), it indicates that a liver transplant may be required, and transfer to a specialist centre is advised ...
