Epilepsy characteristics in patients with muscle‐eye‐brain disease: A systematic review of electroclinical features
Epilepsy is a common feature in MEB patients; its age of onset is usually in the first months of life, and it is often drug-resistant. It can manifest with all seizure types, with absences being the most common type. EEG shows focal or multifocal discharges with a slow and disorganized EEG background. The POMGnT1 mutation is the most common in MEB patients with epilepsy. A clear understanding of the electroclinical patterns in MEB patients can contribute to improved diagnostic precision and management.
