All patients had myoclonic jerks, five had absence seizures, and nine had infrequent generalized tonic-clonic seizures. A majority had a family history of seizures. EEG in all patients showed generalized epileptiform abnormalities, whereas neuroimaging and neurologic examination results were normal. This series appears to represent a previously undescribed idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndrome of adult myoclonic epilepsy.journal_article11061264000089696500024
