Rhythmic Head Nodding With Absence Seizures.

Keywords: Epilepsy; Myoclonic absence; Hyperventilation; Electroencephalography; Valproate Epilepsy with myoclonic absences[1] refers to absence epilepsy with rhythmic 3 Hz myoclonic movements, which are associated with 3 Hz generalized spike-wave discharges on the EEG. Epilepsy with myoclonic absences is considered a pharmacoresistant epilepsy, but the combination of valproate and ethosuximide has yielded good results. [Extracted from the article]
