Electro-clinical aspects of Jeavons syndrome with non-convulsive status epilepticus / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the electro-clinical characteristics of Jeavons syndrome complicated with non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE).Methods:Three patients of Jeavons syndrome complicated with NCSE during electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring in the EEG Monitoring Center, Department of Neurology, Xijing Hospital in 2018 were studied and followed up.Results:Among the three patients, there are two female patients, one male patient, aged 12 to 24 years. Generalized spike-wave discharges and impaired consciousness were recorded during video-EEG monitoring, which lasted for 8 minutes to 6.5 hours and evolved in generalized tonic clonic seizure (GTCS), and did not recur after receiving correct anti-epileptic drugs.Conclusion:NCSE can also occur in Jeavons syndrome, and NCSE in patients with Jeavons syndrome ends with GTCS, suggesting that early detection and timely termination of NCSE in patients with Jeavons syndrome may avoid the occurrence of GTCS.
