O-2-6-26. Effects of sleep on the epileptiform discharge in benign adult familial myoclonus epilepsy (BAFME)

Epileptiform discharges often increase in most epilepsy types. This study sought to clarify the effects of sleep modification on cortical irritability in benign adult familial myoclonus epilepsy (BAFME). We retrospectively reviewed 31 conventional electroencephalographies (EEGs) of 12 BAFME patients and analyzed epileptiform discharges during the awake and sleep periods of 6 EEGs in 5 BAFME patients (5 women, mean age: 49.6±20.3years). Using conventional EEG analysis, EEG was classified into awake (66.6%) and light sleep stages (Stage I and II) (33.4%).
