When myoclonic jerks are occasionally associated with abnormal brain wave activity, it can be categorized as myoclonic seizure.

    Other seizure types that may occur include focal seizures, clusters of infantile spasms, and, rarely, myoclonic seizures. In addition to seizures, children with OS exhibit profound mental and physical disabilities. [citation needed] Clinically, OS is characterized by a "burst suppression" pattern on an EEG. This pattern involves high voltage ...

    Also known as Janz syndrome, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a common form of epilepsy, accounting for ~10% of all cases and ~25% of cases of idiopathic generalized epilepsies. Many children with CAE go on to develop JME. JME first presents between the ages of 12 and 18 with prominent myoclonic seizures.
