- Early myoclonic encephalopathy (EME) is a rare neonatal-onset epilepsy developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) with an onset at neonatal period or during the first 3 months of life. It is marked by the presence of myoclonic seizures but multiple seizure types may occur. The electroencephalographic recording is abnormal with eitherusually a suppression-burst pattern or other significantly abnormal patterns. On most occasions the seizures are drug-resistant. After several months, the seizure pattern may develop into infantile spasms syndrome (West syndrome). The neurological exam is abnormal with a significant risk of early death. Various genetic and metabolic disorders are responsible. At present, EME and Ohtahara syndrome are recorded as distinct patterns in the categorization of epilepsies but both neonatal-onset epilepsy syndromes are considered to be merged in one unique entity. It is a severe type of epilepsy syndrome associated with high level of resistance to treatment and a high risk for cognitive impairment. The myoclonic seizures could be seen in other epilepsy syndromes. Multiple types of childhood epilepsies are usually mentioned as myoclonic epilepsies when the myoclonic seizures are a predominant feature. (en)
