Patient's question:
The neighbor's aunt just had a son, and everyone is very happy. However, this child is a bit abnormal. His complexion is particularly pale, and his muscles often spasm. Sometimes he feels dizzy. After examination, it was diagnosed as benign infantile myoclonic epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign infantile myoclonic epilepsy: clinically uncommon. The age of onset is usually between 1-2 years, and there is often a history of convulsions or a family history of epilepsy. The clinical presentation is characterized by generalized myoclonic seizures. EEG shows bilateral synchronous spike-wave or polyspike-wave complexes. The prognosis is good.
