ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Early myoclonic encephalopathy (EME) is a rare malignant epileptic syndrome. The erratic myoclonus with or without focal motor seizures, onset before 3 months of age, and persistent suppression-burst pattern in electroencephalograph (EEG) are accepted as the diagnostic criteria for EME. We report an 11 month-old infant with EME which was secondary to non-ketotic hyperglycinemia.
