Common genetic epileptic syndromes
- 1. Febrile convulsions
- 2. Benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes
- 3. Childhood absence epilepsy
- 4. Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
The first three syndromes usually are associated with spontaneous remission with age.
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy persists and usually responds to treatment with antiepileptic drugs.
