Juvenile absence epilepsy

Definition:

Juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE/EJA) is classified among the age-related idiopathic generalized epilepsies in adolescence. JAE is characterized by typical absence seizures, and a long-life prevalence of generalized tonic-clonic seizure. The sporadic myoclonic jerks may be observed. The seizure onset is typically between 9 and 13 years of age.
