EPILEPSY ASSOCIATED WITH EPILEPTIC EYELID MYOCLONIA WITH OR WITHOUT ABSENCES
Abstract
Epileptic eyelid myoclonia with or without absences – epileptic seizures presented with closing of eyes and frequent (3-6 times per second) rhythmic myoclonias of eyelids («eyelid fluttering»). They can be accompanied by absences seizures of short duration or they are not accompanied by loss of consciousness. We analyzed the forms of epilepsy, seizure types and compulsive movements of eyes associated with epileptic eyelid myoclonia. We present an algorithm of video-EEG monitoring to diagnostic this epileptic syndrome. Epileptic eyelid myocloniais a seldom type of seizures. It observed with generalized and focal epilepsies. Epileptic eyelid myoclonia can be combined with It can be combined with obsessive eye movementsб what is need differential diagnosis with tics and other obsessions. Using of prolong EEG monitoring is necessary in order to avoid the deterioration of the state of imaginary or perceived improvement. AEP efficiency depends on the epileptic syndrome associated with of еpileptic eyelid myoclonia.
