In epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (EMA), status epilepticus (SE) may occur during the onset phase, uncommonly in post-puberal patients. We report a post-puberal patient with EMA who presented SE with insidious onset and catamenial recurrence. She had a stormy epilepsy onset at 4 years, with tonic seizures, atypical absences, and myoclonic-atonic seizures, in the absence of SE.

Background: Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is a common epilepsy syndrome with early age onset and generally good seizure outcomes. This study aims to determine the incidence and predictive risk factors for drug-resistant IGE.
Methods: We systematically searched three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) in November 2022 and included 12 eligible studies which reported long-term outcomes (mean = 14.

Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza, University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
Although a striking female preponderance has been consistently reported in epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM), no study has specifically explored the variability of clinical presentation according to sex in this syndrome. Here, we aimed to investigate sex-specific electroclinical differences and prognostic determinants in EEM. Data from 267 EEM patients were retrospectively analyzed by the EEM Study Group, and a dedicated multivariable logistic regression analysis was developed separately for each sex.
