Epilepsy with myoclonic absences
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2006Epilepsy with myoclonic absences is a rare seizure disorder with intellectual impairment and resistance to conventional anti-convulsants. It is essential to diagnose epilepsy with myoclonic absences earlier for a better outcome. The authors present a case report to highlight this fact.

Epilepsy with Myoclonic absences
Brain and Development, 2005Epilepsy with myoclonic absences is characterized clinically by absences accompanied by marked, diffuse, rhythmical myoclonias, often associated with a progressive tonic contraction. The ictal EEG shows bilateral, synchronous and symmetrical spike and wave discharges repeated at 3 Hz (similar to that observed in typical absences of childhood absence ...

Epilepsia, 1988
Summary: Epilepsy can be triggered by many unusual mechanisms. Some are exceedingly rare and bizarre, seemingly confined to one patient. This article reports the case of a 20‐year‐old woman who has had absence epilepsy for 11 years that is evoked by thinking or talking about driving an automobile.

Pharmacology of absence epilepsy
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2003Abstract Absence epilepsy, a disease predominantly of childhood, has long been known to arise from an aberration of the interplay between two brain regions, the cortex and the thalamus. Pharmacological treatment of the disorder has advanced little during past decades, with ethosuximide and sodium valproate remaining the principle drugs of choice ...

Epilepsia, 1993
Four syndromes comprise the absence epilepsies. Each is classically associated with the absence seizure, although other syndromes also have absence attacks as part of their repertoire. The most common syndrome is childhood absence epilepsy; it usually occurs in the age range of 6–7 years.

Absence in childhood absence epilepsy
Neurology, 2013Clinicians typically breathe a sigh of relief when they make the diagnosis of childhood absence epilepsy. The history is classic-a normal young child with myriad brief periods of staring. The clinic visit is powerful when the phenomena are replicated by having the child hyperventilate. Finally, the EEG is definitive.

Childhood epilepsy and school absence
Tropical Doctor, 2008Epilepsy is one of the most common diseases encountered among school children. Its effect on school attendance and academic performance is a major cause of concern to both parents and clinicians. In this communication, the absence rate and academic performance of 50 school children with epilepsy attending normal schools was compared with that of their

Epilepsy with myoclonic absences in siblings
Brain and Development, 2014Epilepsy with myoclonic absences (EMAs) is a distinct form of childhood epilepsy characterized by a peculiar seizure type that identifies this condition.To describe the clinical, electroencephalographic features, treatment strategies and outcome in this first case series of two siblings with normal intelligence presenting with EMAs.Both siblings ...

Mechanisms of generalized absence epilepsy
Brain and Development, 1998Absence seizures represent bilaterally synchronous burst-firing of an ensemble of reciprocally connected neuronal populations located in the thalamus and neocortex. Recent studies demonstrate that neurons in the reticular thalamic nucleus (nRt), thalamic relay neurons (RNs), and neocortical pyramidal cells comprise a circuit that sustains the ...
