  • Title: [Diagnostic focus on the child with myoclonic seizures in isolation or associated with other types of seizures].
    Author: Herranz JL, de las Cuevas I.
    Journal: Rev Neurol; 1998 Feb; 26(150):301-7. PubMed ID: 9563099.
    Abstract:
    Myoclonus may be observed in children with mild or severe epileptic syndromes. Both types are seen at characteristic ages, together with other factors: aetiology, family history, hereditary pattern, effect on psychomotor development and EEG-EMG findings. In children with progressive or degenerative encephalopathies and myoclonus, better known as progressive myoclonic epilepsy, there are also specific clinical data, together with biological and genetic markers which permit identification. The most specific clinical characteristics of each of these clinical pictures are described, as are the complementary tests which permit confirmation of these diagnoses.
