The unique clinical features of EPC are likely to reflect its anatomical location rather than its etiology. Idiopathic causes of EPC: Rasmussen chronic encephalitis Autoimmune Multiple sclerosis Anti-GluR3 or Anti-NMDA-GluR-Epsilon2 antibodies Genetic Alpers disease Kufs disease Leigh syndrome and cytochrome C oxidase deficiency Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) coenzyme Q reductase deficiency Mitochondrial cytopathies including mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke (MELAS)
