Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy of Janz

Neurology, 1984
We studied 43 patients, aged 15 to 69 years, whose convulsive seizures were uncontrolled because the syndrome of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy was not recognized. Awakening myoclonic jerks appeared with tonic-clonic (18 patients), clonic-tonic-clonic (24 patients), and absence seizures (17 patients), with a mean age at onset of 13.6 years.

Background activity is normal. The interictal EEG shows diffuse or generalized spike-wave (SW) and polyspike-wave (PSW)
