title: Language- and praxis-induced jerks in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
abstract: Reflex traits have been described in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy. We report on four patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy in whom the coexistence of praxis- and language-induced jerks was documented in video-polygraphic EEG recordings.[Published with video sequences].
