📋Overview
Infantile Myoclonic Encephalopathy is a legacy term historically used to describe a severe early-onset epileptic encephalopathy characterized by myoclonic seizures in infancy. It overlaps with what is now classified under early infantile epileptic encephalopathies (EIEE), including syndromes such as Ohtahara syndrome and early myoclonic epilepsy. These conditions involve severe neurological impairment and refractory seizures beginning in the neonatal period or early infancy.
