Epilepsy is a complex disease spectrum, because of long-term recurrent seizures and seriously affect the quality of life of patients, it is of great significance to explore the pathogenesis of epilepsy and actively seek new therapeutic targets. In this paper, the pathogenesis of epilepsy related to mitochondrial pathway was discussed from the aspects of energy depletion, oxidative stress damage, impaired calcium homeostasis, increased glutamic acid release, mitochondrial DNA mutation, Coenzyme Q10 deficiency, abnormal mitochondrial movement and change, and relevant therapeutic ideas were proposed. This paper shows that mitochondrial function affects the onset of epilepsy from various ways. Further understanding of the relationship between mitochondria and the onset of epilepsy is beneficial to find new therapeutic targets and develop new therapies beyond the control of epilepsy.
