Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy of Janz
Abstract
We studied 43 patients, aged 15 to 69 years, whose convulsive seizures were uncontrolled because the syndrome of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy was not recognized. Awakening myoclonic jerks appeared with tonic-clonic (18 patients), clonic-tonic-clonic (24 patients), and absence seizures (17 patients), with a mean age at onset of 13.6 years. Generalized seizures were present in relatives of 17 patients. All patients had diffuse 3 1/2- to 6-Hz multispike-wave complexes. Valproic acid stopped convulsions in 86% of patients. After being free of seizures for 2 years, withdrawal of valproic acid was followed by relapse of convulsions in 12 patients.

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.
