Jeavons syndrome

Abstract EN

Jeavons syndrome is a rare generalized childhood epileptic condition characterized by eyelid myoclonia with or without absences.

Other features of the syndrome include photosensitivity and electroencephalography (EEG) findings.

An eight-year-old male was referred to the pediatric clinic from the ophthalmology clinic with a chief complaint of repetitive abnormal eye movements.

The patient did not exhibit any photosensitivity but his EEG was diagnostic for primary generalized epilepsy.

Treatment with levetiracetam revealed significant improvement.
