Tell me about myoclonic seizures?

Random jerks: Muscle spasms can be very complicated. Seizures can cause muscular spasms that are tonic, clinic, myoclonic, dyskinetic, choreic, etc. Myoclnus can cause rapid throwing or dropping of objects or sudden slamming against the wall or to the floor. It is hard to treat, but newer medications have provided much benefit.

Brief jerks: These are brief, jerks that can affect arms, legs and the torso. They can be unilateral or bilateral. They are associated with a characterstic change on the eeg. They can be controlled with certain anti-seizure medications, for example, valproate, or levetiracetam.
