A form of epilepsy where the limbs jerk frequently.
This uncommon type of epilepsy is typically observed in children aged between 5 and 15, and in adults between the ages of 25 and 40. The hallmark feature is abrupt muscle spasms that can range from mild twitching to severe limb movements. The condition may stay stable for years and generally does not have a strong impact on life expectancy. However, it could also lead to a fatal outcome within months of its onset, accompanied by progressive cognitive decline and eventually coma. Spontaneous recovery is possible, but the condition has a high likelihood of recurrence.
