What is the difference between myoclonic epilempsy and benign myoclonic epilempsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: Benign Myoclonic epilepsy may be simply "twiching" of a muscle or group of muscles. With increasing severity the twitching may spread or be prolonged. A neurologist should be consulted since treatment is available.
