Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy

Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a common form of idiopathic generalised epilepsy that often manifests during adolescence. Characterised by myoclonic jerks, generalised tonic-clonic seizures, and absence seizures, JME typically responds well to medications like valproate. Early and accurate diagnosis of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is crucial for effective management and patient quality of life.
