- W974558987 abstract "Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the case of a woman diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. However, the jerks, in her mind, had nothing to do with her seizure. To her, they were just a personal mode of behavior. Her mother admitted to having the same problem beginning in her school years, which she described as “funny jerks.” She strongly denied having any “blackouts.” Doctors, she noted, had explained the jerks as just tics. She had been satisfied with this explanation because her aunt was also reported to have these “funny jerks.” It seemed that in this family, to some extent, jerks were acceptable behavior in the women. A magnetic resonance imaging scan showed slight frontoparietal parasaggital atrophy. The routine EEG showed increased generalized intermittant rhythmic slowing that was excessive for her age. With sleep deprivation, bilateral polyspike-and-wave complexes were seen, which were intermittently accompanied by bilateral myoclonic jerks of the upper extremities. It was very difficult to explain to the patient and her family that the myoclonic jerks were, in fact, a feature of generalized epilepsy. Monotherapy with valproate 1500 mg/day was started. At 1-year follow-up, the myoclonic jerks had stopped and she had had no more tonic–clonic seizures." @default.
