  The second case was a 21-year-old Turkish female given perampanel at a dose of 8 to 10 mg in addition to a regimen that included clonazepam, levetiracetam, piracetam, valproate, zonisamide, a ketogenic diet, and vagal nerve stimulation (VNS). [statpearls.com]

  In addition, four variant forms of the disease have been described: Finnish, Gypsy/Indian, and Turkish variants of late-infantile NCL and Northern epilepsy. [clinicalgate.com]

  These 4 types of variant LINCL are virtually indistinguishable clinically so are sometimes called Finnish, Czech, or Turkish variant LINCL, respectively, because they were first described in families from these countries. [bioline.org.br]

• Seizure

  Multifocal myoclonic seizures begin between 16 and 24 months of age after normal initial development. Neurodegeneration and regression occur with seizure onset. [malacards.org]

  In addition, partial seizures rather than generalized seizures (generalized tonic-clonic or myoclonic) were commonly presented in the occipital epilepsy. [journals.lww.com]
