Childhood Absence Epilepsy evolving to Eyelid Myoclonia with Absence Epilepsy [PDF]
Children with Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) may develop generalized tonic-clonic seizure or juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. A possible evolution to Eyelid Myoclonia with Absence Epilepsy (EMA) hasn't been documented yet. We report the electroclinical features of a case series of children with CAE that evolved to EMA after therapy withdrawal.Of 108 ...
