Abstract: Alpers - Huttenlocher syndrome (AHS) is an autosomal recessive inheritance condition associated with POLG and is characterized by the classic triad of epilepsy refractory to treatment. In this study, a clinical case of a 10 - month - old female patient with a provisional diagnosis refractory epilepsy is reported. Subsequently, the paper describes the clinical features, natural history of Alpers - Huttenlocher syndrome, and treatment of PLOG - related disorders, focusing particularly on the neurological manifestations of these conditions.
