<p>EEGpedia: </p> <hr /> <div>==Background==<br /> * One of the idiopathic generalized epilepsies<br /> * 1% to 2% of epilepsies that start before the age of 3 years<br /> * Seizures start between 0.5 and 3 years of age in developmentally normal children. However, some cases have a later onset up to 4 years<br /> * A family history of febrile seizures and epilepsy is often reported<br /> * Remission usually occurs within 1 year (6 months to 5 years) from onset.<br /> * The outcome is generally benign. In rare cases, myoclonic epilepsy such as [[Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy]] may follow Benign Myoclonic Epilepsy in Infancy<br /> <br /> ==Clinic==<br /> * Myoclonic jerks involving mostly the upper part of the body, singular or clusters<br /> * Consciousness is normally intact <br /> * Photosensitivity in 20% of the patients <br /> * Unexpected acoustic or tactile stimuli can elicit a the myoclonic jerks in 10%.<br /> * During sleep in most of the patients the myoclonic seizures persists<br /> <br /> ==Treatment==<br /> * Valproic acid was effective in 23 of 30 treated patients &lt;ref&gt;Auvin, S. , Pandit, F. , De Bellecize et al, Benign Myoclonic Epilepsy in Infants: Electroclinical Features and Long‐term Follow‐up of 34 Patients.
