The history of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2013Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) has been the subject of intensive research over the past 25years. It was discovered stepwise in Switzerland and France in the 19th century, adequately described in Germany and Uruguay in the 1950s, and rediscovered in North America in the early 1980s.

The treatment of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2006Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is a common type of epilepsy with onset occurring during adolescence. This review provides a collection of evidence relating to the treatment of this type of epilepsy. Historically, the large majority of patients become seizure-free when treated with valproate.

Clonazepam in Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy
Epilepsia, 1989Summary: We studied the efficacy of clonazepam (CZP) in control of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) in 17 patients. CZP was very effective in controlling myoclonic jerks in all patients but did not suppress generalized tonic‐clonic seizures (GTCS). A disadvantage occurs because the patient is deprived of the warning jerks which presage the onset of ...

Benign juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1987Two patients with long-standing, poorly controlled seizures presented to a university hospital emergency department. Both patients had myoclonic jerks on waking and evidence of absence seizures as well as generalized tonic-clonic seizures. A diagnosis of benign juvenile myoclonic epilepsy was made, and the seizures were controlled with valproic acid.

Management of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2013Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a common form of epilepsy and a fairly lifelong disorder that may significantly lower a patient's expectations and potential for a full life. Luckily, it is also a highly treatable disorder, and up to 85% of patients with JME will enjoy satisfactory seizure control.

Myoclonic status epilepticus in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Epileptic Disorders, 2009ABSTRACTBackgroundMyoclonic status epilepticus (MSE) is rarely found in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and its clinical features are not well described. We aimed to analyze MSE incidence, precipitating factors and clinical course by studying patients with JME from a large outpatient epilepsy clinic.MethodsWe retrospectively screened all patients ...

Review: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Child: Care, Health and Development, 1994SummaryJuvenile myoclonic epilepsy does not seem to be recognized as often as it should be, accounting as it does for about one in 10 of those with epilepsy. In addition to the myoclonus, absence seizures and tonic‐clonic fits can occur. The interictal EEG shows polyspike and wave discharges, and during the myoclonus, medium to high amplitude 16 Hz ...

American Journal of Electroneurodiagnostic Technology, 2000
ABSTRACT.Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is characterized by frequent attacks of myoclonic jerking, which occur most commonly in the morning hours (mainly after a night of insufficient sleep). Ictally and interictally, the EEG shows bursts of generalized, synchronous spike-waves (3–4/sec, often 4–5/sec) with frontal maximum.

Segregation Analysis of Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy
Genetic Epidemiology, 1988AbstractWe examined the inheritance of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). We looked at both the trait of “epilepsy” and the trait of “epilepsy‐plus‐EEG abnormalities”, since EEG abnormalities are frequently found in the clinically unaffected sibs of JME patients. We tested several modes of inheritance including the fully penetrant recessive and several

Is it juvenile myoclonic epilepsy?
Epileptic Disorders, 2000ABSTRACT A 21‐year old man with marked developmental delay was referred for the diagnosis of myoclonic jerks (MJ), which were sometimes responsible for sudden falls without loss of consciousness, that had begun 2 years before, and for a recent generalized tonic‐clonic seizure preceded by a cluster of MJ.
