Abstract

This is a report on 11 cases of Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) from the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, all of whom were diagnosed in the last one and a half years. This genetic syndrome is seen in all the three main racial groups: Chinese, Malays and Indians. It accounts for 2% of the epilepsy patients seen at the neurology clinic. Lack of awareness is the main hindrance to diagnosis.
