Late-Onset Generalized Myoclonic Seizure: Case Report

Öz:

Most of the epileptic seizures that begin at an advanced age are focal onset seizures due to an underlying structural lesion. Generalized myoclonic seizures, usually seen in adolescence, are very rare in elderly patients without a history of epilepsy. In this study, we present a 60-year-old patient with generalized myoclonic seizures with electrophysiological findings. Because of the late-onset, myoclonic jerks were first evaluated with the diagnosis of non-epileptic psychogenic attack in an external health center. The patient was diagnosed with seizure recordings in Electroencephalography-video monitoring. The patient responded well to the antiepileptic treatment and became seizure-free.

Geç Başlangıçlı Jeneralize Myoklonik Nöbet: Olgu Sunumu

Öz:

İleri yaşta başlayan epileptik nöbetlerin çoğunluğu altta yatan yapısal bir lezyona bağlı fokal başlangıçlı nöbetlerdir. Genellikle ergenlik döneminde görülen jeneralize miyoklonik nöbetlerin ise epilepsi öyküsü olmayan ileri yaş hastalarda görülmesi çok nadirdir. Biz bu çalışmada 60 yaşında jeneralize miyoklonik nöbetleri başlayan bir olguyu elektrofizyolojik bulguları ile sunuyoruz. Olguda miyoklonik sıçramalar ileri yaşta başlamasından dolayı dış merkezde epileptik olmayan psikojen atak tanısı ile değerlendirilmişti. Yapılan video elektroensefalografi kayıtlamada hastaya kliniğimizde tanı konmuş, olgu antiepileptik tedaviye iyi yanıt vermiş, nöbetsizlik sağlanmıştır.
