1. Seizure semiology of these patients was not included in the study. Semiology may be helpful to further classify these patients as benign partial epilepsy in infancy with complex partial seizures versus benign partial epilepsy in infancy with secondary generalized seizures (SGS). Though, proposal was made to combine these syndromes in the past, some subtle differences exist such as predominan...

illness is benign, and the onset is usually in the 3rd decade of life. EMG revealed (20-50 msec) positive and (20-150 msec) negative myoclonus synchronized in antagonistic muscles. Major EEG abnormalities were generalized 4-6 Hz atypical spike and wave bursts and polyspikes. The P25-N33 amplitude of the median nerve SEP was increased (33.5 & 25.8 nV). EMG reflex myoclonic bursts from median ner...

Purpose. The neuronal mechanisms of remission of epilepsy are not known. Based on the principles of the "network theory of epilepsy" we postulated the existence of abnormal cortico-cortical interactions at the onset of epilepsy (Hypothesis-1), and postulated that remission is associated with the decrease or disappearance of the abnormal quantitative EEG findings (Hypothesis-2). Methods. Four ch...
