In order to outline the clinical and EEG characteristics of recurrent @entity159 ( @entity159 ), eight cases with more than two attacks of @entity159 were studied. Their current ages were between 13 and 84 years, and five of the @entity1 were @entity1 . There was a history of @entity302 in five of the @entity1 before the first @entity159 episode. A varying degree of @entity911 was the main clinical symptom with associated mild motor signs like perioral, eyelid and generalised @entity2045 , seen in one, two and four @entity1 respectively. Two of the @entity1 had juvenile @entity3148 . One @entity1 had an atypical form of @entity2048 characterised by recurrent @entity159 attacks on awakening. There were two @entity1 with phantom absences and late onset generalised @entity410 , one @entity1 with perioral myoclonia and absences, and finally two @entity1 with eyelid myoclonia with absences, which are proposed syndromes. On the EEGs that revealed the diagnosis of @entity159 , there was a marked variability of the generalised multispike and wave discharges. The EEG findings appeared to be syndrome-related with some exceptions. IV @entity2053 lead to a dramatic improvement. Our study shows that the majority of recurrent @entity159 cases do not fit into the International syndrome classification.
