Question: what does juvenile myoclonic epilepsy mean?
Answer: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is the most common generalized epilepsy syndrome. It is also called Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy of Janz. It typically begins in adolescence. Teens with JME do not have other developmental problems. Myoclonic seizures (brief shock-like muscle jerks) are the most common type of seizure.
