Is there a universal drug for epilepsy?
The article reviews the use of antiepileptic drugs in various forms of epilepsy. We present a complex case of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, the diagnostic process and antiepileptic therapy.

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy with photosensitivity in a female with Velocardiofacial syndrome (del(22)(q11.2))--causal relationship or coincidence? [PDF]
We report on an adolescent female with Velocardiofacial syndrome (del(22)(q11.2)) and an epilepsy phenotype resembling juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). Clinically, the patient has characteristic signs of both disorders.

Praxis-induced seizures in a patient with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: MEG-EEG coregistration study
Purpose: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is one of the most common generalized idiopathic epilepsies of childhood and adolescence. In some patients with JME, mathematical calculus and praxis may induce myoclonic seizures.

Monthly or menstrual? A scoping review of catamenial epilepsy and non‐menstrual seizure rhythms
Abstract Objective Despite the reported high prevalence of catamenial epilepsy (CE), the condition remains poorly defined, with lack of consensus on what entails a menstrual‐related seizure exacerbation. Emerging evidence of multiday cycles of seizure activity, including about‐monthly cycles, present in both men and women, further confound the ...

Structural Brain Abnormality in JME
An automated and objective technique of statistical parametric mapping was employed in the analysis of structural MRI from 20 patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and 30 control subjects studied at the Institute of Neurology, London, UK.

Motor Unit Territories in Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy Patients [PDF]
In this study, the scanning EMG technique was implemented to investigate electrophysiological cross-sections of the motor unit (MU) territories in healthy volunteers and in subjects with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and spinal muscular atrophy ...

Myoclonic Jerks and Schizophreniform Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review
Background: Schizophreniform syndromes can be divided into primary idiopathic forms as well as different secondary organic subgroups (e.g., paraepileptic, epileptic, immunological, or degenerative).

Abstract Absence seizures evolving to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures may have focal or asymmetric clinical features. Using quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) may evaluate this phenomenon and the involved neuronal network. We conducted a retrospective chart review of pediatric patients with generalized epilepsy and normal brain magnetic ...
