  • Title: EEG evaluation of fixation-off sensitivity in eyelid myoclonia with absences.
    Author: Ogura K, Maegaki Y, Koeda T.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurol; 2005 Aug; 33(2):142-5. PubMed ID: 16087063.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old female of moderately retarded intelligence exhibited frequent seizures of eyelid myoclonia with absences. Video-electroencephalographic recording revealed that slow eye closure was followed by eyelid myoclonia with absence seizures and that paroxysmal burst activities in the occipital region always preceded generalized spike-wave discharges. Paroxysmal burst activities were induced not only by slow eye closure but also by fixation-off, wearing Frenzel glasses. We speculate that the sensitivity to fixation-off in the occipital lobe is one of the triggering mechanisms in eyelid myoclonia with absences.
