Abstract
Epileptic eyelid myoclonias with and without absences are epileptic seizures manifesting as eye closure or frequent (3–6 times per second) rhythmic eyelid myoclonias (eyelid jerk). They may be accompanied by brief absences or may run without loss of consciousness. The authors provide a detailed review of literature and their study results in 34 patients (detected in the entire group of 1261 patients) with epileptic eyelid myoclonia with regard to their anamnestic, clinical, electroencephalographic, and neuroimaging features. Detailed recommendations for its diagnosis and treatment are given.
