Workup
EEG is required to distinguish myoclonic seizures from nonictal causes of myoclonus, which can arise from lesions of the cortex, brainstem, spinal cord, or even peripheral nerve (see Workup). [emedicine.medscape.com]
[…] infancts-toddlers) Frequent and diverse epileptic seizures Usually generalized – myoclonic components Per definition: negative influence on development Epilepsy is almost always a symptom of an underlying severe neurological disease: Extensive diagnostic workup [opleid.info]
The diagnosis of a particular seizure type, and of a specific type of epilepsy (epilepsy syndrome), directs the diagnostic workup of these patients and their initial therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Risk and treatment management includes, but is not limited to [6] : For ALDH7A1 related pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy and PNPO related pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate oxidase deficiency: Treatment Pyridoxine should be used For KCNQ2 related early infantile [swisscheckup.com]
There are many manifestations of epilepsy and, therefore, a diversity of factors in underlying pathology, responses to treatment and prognosis. [books.google.de]
Some of the services we provide include: • Brachial Plexus Palsy treatment • Cerebral Palsy treatment • Epilepsy treatment • General Neurology treatment • Movement Disorders treatment • Neurofibromatosis Center treatment • Stroke treatment • Tuberous [neuro.wustl.edu]
Seizures may be rare and not require treatment. In patients with frequent seizures, antiepileptic drug treatment may be warranted. [epilepsyfoundationmn.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis depends heavily on the underlying etiology and the epilepsy syndrome. Patients with a benign syndrome typically respond well to medication and may outgrow their epilepsy. [emedicine.medscape.com]
An epileptic disorder characterized by a cluster of signs and symptoms customarily occurring together; these include type of seizure, etiology, anatomy, precipitating factors, age of onset, severity, chronicity, diurnal and circadian cycling and prognosis [slideshare.net]

Prognosis The prognosis for children with IS is largely dependent on the underlying cause. The intellectual prognosis for children with IS is generally poor because many babies with IS have neurological impairment prior to the onset of spasms. [childneurologyfoundation.org]
Etiology
Etiology Seizures associated with early myoclonic encephalopathy can be due to a number of etiologies. [emedicine.medscape.com]
[…] a gene mutation involved in autosomal-recessive idiopathic epilepsy, unveiled the involvement of ARF6-dependent molecular pathway in brain hyperexcitability and seizures, and confirmed the emerging role of subtle cytoarchitectural alterations in the etiology [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The idiopathic, symptomatic, or cryptogenic etiology remains undefined in the latter form. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Epidemiology Although BFIE cases have been reported worldwide, prevalence and incidence remain unknown. In an Argentinian case series, BFIE have been listed as the third most common type of epilepsy in the first two years of life. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Epidemiology The incidence of myoclonic epilepsy is approximately 1 case in 40,000 children. Typically, the onset of these disorders is during the first 3 years of life. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Myoclonic seizures are generally the product of hypersynchronous, generalized cortical discharges. These discharges arise from hyperexcitable neuronal networks. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The author presents clinical and EEG manifestations, epidemiology, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and management of this rather benign early onset idiopathic myoclonic epilepsy. [medlink.com]
Although the exact pathophysiology is unknown, mutations in cystatin B appear to lead to accelerated apoptosis, which may explain the progressive neurologic decline [ Delgado-Escueta et al., 2001 ]. [clinicalgate.com]
Prevention
AEDs are used to prevent recurrent seizures. [stlukes-stl.com]
Research The NINDS supports broad and varied programs of research on epilepsy and other seizure disorders aimed at discovering new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat these disorders. [childneurologyfoundation.org]
This DNA vaccine has the potential to be a safe and effective therapy to prevent Alzheimer disease. He described Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), an autosomal dominant ataxia, with William Nyhan, M.D. Ph.D, in 1976, for the first time. [books.google.ro]
In addition, parents should also be aware that these drugs may prevent recurrences but do not alter the long-term prognosis for attaining seizure remission. [aafp.org]
