Nosological Problems of Myoclonic Epilepsies in Childhood and Adolescence

Jeavons, P. M.·1977·Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology

Abstract

SUMMARY: An attempt is made to clarify the confusion over the classification of the myoclonic epilepsies of childhood. Six types of seizure are described, the classification being based on clinical and electroencephalographic findings. The types of myoclonic epilepsy are infantile spasms, myoclonic astatic epilepsy, myoclonic absence, myoclonic epilepsy of childhood, myoclonic epilepsy of adolescence and photomyoclonic epilepsy, the last being subdivided into myoclonic jerks and eyelid myoclonia. Synonyms are given for all types, based on the major papers in the literature over the last 16 years. The similarity of infantile spasms and myoclonic astatic epilepsy is discussed, as are the so‐called ‘Lennox’ and ‘Lennox‐Gastaut’ syndromes. RÉSUMÉ: Problèmes nosologiques des épilepsies myocloniques de l'enfance et de l'adolescence Une tentative est faite de clarifier la classification des épilepsies myocloniques de l'enfance. Six types de crises sont décrites, la classification étant basée sur les données cliniques et électroencéphalographiques. Les types d'épilepsies myocloniques sont les spasmes infancies, l'épilepsie myoclonique astatique, l'absence myoclonique, l'épilepsie myoclonique de l'enfance, l'épilepsie myoclonique de l'adolescence et l'épilepsie photomyoclonique, cette dernière étant subdivisée en secousses myocloniques et myoclonic des paupiéres. Des synonymes sont indiqués pour tous les types à partir des articles principaux de la littérature des 16 dernières années. L'identification des spasmes infantiles et de l'épilepsie myoclonique astatique est discutée comme le sont les syndromes dits de ‘Lennox’ et de ‘Lennox‐Gastaut’. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Nosologische Probleme myoklonischer Epilepsie bei Kindern und Heranwachsenden Es wird der Versuch unternommen, die Unklarheiten bei der Klassifizierung der myo‐klonischen Epilepsien des Kindesalters zu beseitigen. Sechs Anfallstypen werden beschrieben, wobei die Klassifizierung auf klinischen und elektroencephalographischen Befunden basiert. Die Typen der myoklonischen Epilepsie sind: BNS‐Krämpfe, myoklonisch‐astatisches Anfallsleiden, myoklonische Absencen, myoklonische Epilepsie im Kindesalter, myoklonische Epilepsie im frühen Erwachsenenalter und photosensible myoklonische Epilepsie, die letztere wird noch unterteilt in myoklonische Anfälle und Augenlidmyo‐klonien. Für alle Typen werden Synonyma angegeben, die der einschlägigen Literatur der letzten 16 Jahre entnommen wurden. Es wird über die Ähnlichkeit der BNS‐Krämpfe mit den myoklonisch‐astatischen Anfällen diskutiert, sowie über die sogenannten ‘Lennox’ und ‘Lennox‐Gastaut’ Syndrome. RESUMEN: Problemas nosológicos de las epilepsias mioclónicas de la infancia y adolescencia Se hace un intento para clarificar la confusión sobre la clasificación de las epilepsias mioclónicas en la infancia. Se describen seis tipos de crisis, cuya clasificación está basada en los hallazgos clínicos y electroencefalográficos. Los tipos de epilepsia mioclónica son espasmos infantiles, epilepsia mioclónica astática, ausencia mioclónica, epilepsia mioclónica de la infancia, epilepsia mioclónica de la adolescencia y epilepsia fotomioclónica, siendo esta última subdividida en sobresaltos mioclónicos y mioclonía de párpados. Se dan sinónimos para todos los tipos, basados en las comunicaciones más importantes de la literature de los últimos dieciseis años. Se discute la similitud de los espasmos infantiles y la epilepsia mioclónica astática, como son los sindromes llamados de ‘Lennox’ y ‘Lennox‐Gastaut’.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
