Clinical Features. The onset is at birth or early infancy. When the onset is at birth, the newborn may appear hypotonic during sleep and develop generalized stiffening on awakening. Apnea and an exaggerated startle response are associated signs. Hypertonia in the newborn is unusual. Rigidity diminishes but does not disappear during sleep. Tendon reflexes 25 are brisk, and the response spreads to other muscles. The stiffness resolves spontaneously during infancy, and by 3 years of age most children are normal; however, episodes of stiffness may recur during adolescence or early adult life in response to startle, cold exposure, or pregnancy.
The response to anticonvulsant drugs and the outcome depend on the underlying cause. Hemiconvulsions-Hemiplegia Syndrome (Rasmussen Syndrome) Rasmussen syndrome is a poorly understood disorder. While originally described as a form of focal, viral encephalitis, an infectious etiology is not established. Clinical Features. Focal jerking frequently begins in one body part, usually one side of the face or one hand, and then spreads to contiguous parts. Trunk muscles are rarely affected. The rate and intensity of the seizures vary at first, but then become more regular and persist during sleep.
Reproduce the typical features with video/EEG. Treatment. Treatment is similar to the other idiopathic generalized epilepsies: ethosuximide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, divalproex sodium. Myoclonic Seizures Myoclonus is a brief, involuntary muscle contraction (jerk) that may represent: (1) a seizure manifestation, as in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy; (2) a physiological response to startle or to falling asleep; (3) an involuntary movement of sleep; or (4) an involuntary movement from disinhibition of the spinal cord (see Table 14-7).
