Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EM) or Jeavons syndrome (JS) is an epileptic syndrome related to the spectrum of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE). We report two untreated children on which EEGs were performed several hours after a generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS). These showed a unilateral, nearly continuous posterior slowing.

- The study aimed to compare the prevalence of benign EEG variants (BEVs) in patients with epilepsy versus those without it.
- Researchers conducted a prospective observational EEG study with 1,163 patients, monitoring their brain activity from 24 hours to eight days.
- Results showed that non-epileptic patients had a significantly higher prevalence of BEVs (73.2%) compared to epileptic patients (57.8%), indicating that epilepsy might reduce the occurrence of common BEVs, except for mu rhythm, which was similarly found in both groups.
Objectives: To study the prevalence of benign EEG variants (BEVs) in the sleep-wake cycle among 1163 consecutive patients.
Methods: Prospective, observational EEG study using the 10-20 system with systematically two additional anterior-temporal electrodes. Depending on clinical indications, other electrodes were added.
Purpose: To describe the typical and atypical clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) features of 40 patients with Jeavons syndrome (JS).
Method: Retrospective analysis from two French tertiary centers.
Results: Forty patients were enrolled (31 females and 9 males; sex ratio F/M = 3.
Purpose: Perampanel (PER) was added to the anticonvulsant regimen of 71 patients with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) to evaluate its efficacy against seizures and its tolerability.
Method: We evaluated at 3-month intervals 62 with pure LGS and 9 with LGS-like epileptic encephalopathy (28 females, 43 males, mean age 40.1 ± 11.
