ABSTRACT

The most frequent epilepsy gene, subtype is the juvenile mioclonic epilepsy it represents between 4 to 11% of all epilepsy, is caracterized by genetic predisposition, lack of neurologic or intelectual evidence; start up age close to teenage, patients present miclonics crisis in 100% of all cases wich show up exclusively or predominant and after waking up, other type of crisis like and mioclonic tonic clonic generalized can be present. Similar to the other eiplepsy generalized it is expected normal results at conventional studies; nevertheless difterent studies had reported abnormality results present most of them unspecific and not related with crisis genesis, in our series were found abnormal results in 17.2% of the images magnetic resonance (RM); the electroencephelographic registres commenly show.
