Myoclonus and epilepsy

摘要: Epileptic myoclonus can be defined as an elementary electroclinical manifestation of epilepsy involving descending neurons, whose spatial (spread) or temporal (self-sustained repetition) amplification trigger overt epileptic activity and classified cortical (positive negative), secondarily generalized, thalamo-cortical, reticular. Cortical represents a fragment partial symptomatic generalized epilepsy; thalamo-cortical is idiopathic epilepsy. Reflex reticular the clinical counterpart fragments hypersynchronous neurons in brainstem formation. myoclonus, setting syndrome, only one component seizure, seizure manifestations, multiple types more stable condition that manifested nonparoxysmal fashion mimics movement disorder. This complex correlation obvious patients with epilepsia partialis continua which focal motor seizures usually start same somatic (and cortical) region. In tremor this less requires neurophysiological studies to demonstrated.
