Question
What Are the EEG Manifestations of Pediatric Benign Myoclonic Epilepsy?
Answer
Children with benign myoclonic epilepsy often have clear etiologies related to organic, genetic, and metabolic causes, and nearly all have intellectual impairment. The younger the age, the higher the incidence of intellectual disability. Among different types of recurrence, those with intellectual decline from highest to lowest are infantile spasms, absence seizures, and severe recurrence itself can affect intellectual development.
