What is Myoclonic Epilepsy?

Myoclonus epilepsy (MEoclonus epilepsy, ME) is a kind of epilepsy with myoclonic hair as the main manifestation, including a large group of diseases related to genetic metabolism abnormalities. Because ME is a temporary contraction of the whole body or part of the muscle group, and there is no unconsciousness, it is not easy to attract the attention of patients and their families. Myoclonic epilepsy is often combined with other types of seizures, especially when combined with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which can easily cause misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Myoclonus refers to a sudden, involuntary, transient contraction of multiple muscles at a single or different location (body axis, proximal or distal), which can spread throughout the body or be confined to one or several limbs of the face and trunk, or even individual Muscles or muscle groups can recur, often with unconscious disturbances. EEG showed multiple spines, cusp-slow integrated waves.
