1 POLG1 mutations should be considered in teenagers and young adults reporting episodic visual symptoms with migraine-like headaches and sudden-onset intractable seizures. Due to the risk of liver failure, valproic acid should be avoided when treating patients with POLG1 phenotypes.296,299 Source: Focal Epilepsy, Atlas of Pediatric EEG Citation: Laoprasert P.
