Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM), formerly known as Jeavons syndrome, is a type of rare absence epilepsy characterized by a brief but intense and repeated jerking of the eyelids. Seizures can be triggered by bright and/or flickering lights and can be associated with abnormal EEG patterns.
EEM most often starts in children aged between 6 and 8 years and is more prevalent in girls than boys.
In this webinar, attendees will learn how to recognize the clinical features of EEM, as well as how to differentiate it from other epilepsy syndromes. The webinar will also review the consensus first-line treatments for EEM.
