abstract

  • Two patients with long-standing, poorly controlled seizures presented to a university hospital emergency department. Both patients had myoclonic jerks on waking and evidence of absence seizures as well as generalized tonic-clonic seizures. A diagnosis of benign juvenile myoclonic epilepsy was made, and the seizures were controlled with valproic acid.
