Evolution of childhood absence epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and epilepsy with grand mal on awakening. Paper-8101904. Sixteen CAE cases (32%) later evolved to be GMA. Paper-8101904.
There is strong evolutional correlation among CAE, JME and GMA in this series. Paper-8101904.
All the patients' family members with epilepsy were classified under idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Paper-8101904.
Electroencephalographically, fast generalized spike or polyspike-wave complex (> or = 3Hz) was the most common feature.
All JME patients had concomitant GMA and three GMA cases (21%) had concomitant JME at diagnosis. Paper-8101904.
Three JME (42%) and 4 GMA patients (28%) had been diagnosed as CAE about 5 to 7 years preceding JME and GMA, respectively. Paper-8101904.
Seventy-one Chinese children with idiopathic generalized epilepsy, from among 1931 pediatric epileptics, were reviewed clinically and electroencephalographically. Paper-8101904.
Hyperventilation was the most common precipitating factor for CAE, and sleep deprivation was the most common one for JME and GMA. Paper-8101904.
They were classified under childhood absence epilepsy ( CAE, 50/71), juvenile myoclonic epilepsy ( JME, 7/71) and epilepsy with grand mal on awakening ( GMA, 14/71). Paper-8101904.
