摘要: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is a common idiopathic generalized with age-related onset of symptoms. We present an unusual case where definitive diagnosis was delayed until the patient aged 66 years, despite early recognition clinical features. Although uncommon in elderly, JME should be considered all patients seizures refractory to treatment.
