8 Μαΐ 2023 · Myoclonic epilepsy of infancy is a rare self-limited epileptic syndrome characterized by brief myoclonic seizures in previously healthy and developmentally normal children in the first three years of life.
Objective : To determine the clinical and electroencephalographic characteristics of patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME). Methods: In this descriptive case series study, 60 patients of Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) were included. ...
1 Νοε 2001 · Runs of successive myoclonic jerks recorded by video-EEG during sleep. The patient was a 2-year-2-month-old girl with favorable MAE of early childhood. She had daytime myoclonic–atonic seizures, myoclonic seizures, atypical absence seizures, and nocturnal generalized attacks shown in this figure.
Twelve children (31.5%) had reflex myoclonus, triggered by a tactile stimulus in 10 and additionally by noise and light in 2. The remaining two had photosensitive myoclonic jerks. The interictal electroencephalography (EEG) recordings evidenced generalized spike waves, polyspikes, and polyspike-wave paroxysms.
Myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (MEI) is characterized by brief generalized myoclonic seizures associated with generalized spike-wave paroxysms without other seizure types occurring in the first 3 years of life in developmentally normal children. In this study we analyze the electroclinical features, treatment, and outcome of 38 patients with MEI.
Myoclonic-tonic (MT) and spasm-tonic (ST) seizures represent distinctive features in late infantile epileptic encephalopathy (LIEE). This commentary aims to delineate the electroclinical characteristics of MT and ST seizures, setting them apart from other seizure types.
1 ημέρα πριν · Myoclonic seizures (even generalized myoclonus) are the most common seizure type, although occasional focal seizures may occur. EEG typically shows a burst-suppression pattern, more pronounced during sleep. This syndrome is associated with a high seizure burden, medically refractory epilepsy, and severe neurodevelopmental morbidity.
