Epilepsy in Adults with Mitochondrial Disease: A Cohort Study
Ann Neurol 78:949-957, Whittaker, R.G.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Epilepsy is a common manifestation of mitochondrial disease. It develops early in the disease and, in the case of the m.3243A>G mutation, often presents in the context of a stroke-like episode or status epilepticus. However, epilepsy does not itself appear to contribute to the increased mortality in mitochondrial disease.
