Description	A type of epilepsy that presents between 2 and 14 years of age with the triad of frequent eyelid myoclonia, with or without absences, induced by eye closure and photic stimulation. Eyelid myoclonia is often most prominent on awakening. Generalised tonic-clonic seizures occur in the majority of cases but are usually infrequent. The electroencephalogram shows bursts of 3 to 6 Hz generalised spike-wave or polyspike-and-wave which are often triggered by eye closure and/or photic stimulation, with a normal background.
