Neuropsychiatric comorbidities and cognition in epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia: a retrospective pediatric case series.

In our study we found a high rate of cognitive and psychiatric comorbidities and high refractoriness. These data support the concept of EEM as an intermediate entity between idiopathic generalized epilepsy and epileptic and/or neurodevelopmental encephalopathy. Making a proper diagnosis and management of these comorbidities is necessary to improve prognosis and quality of life in EEM.
