Özet
Most of the epileptic seizures that begin at an advanced age are focal onset seizures due to an underlying structural lesion. Generalized myoc-lonic seizures, usually seen in adolescence, are very rare in elderly patients without a history of epilepsy. In this study, we present a 60-year-old patient with generalized myoclonic seizures with electrophysiological findings. Because of the late-onset, myoclonic jerks were first evaluated with the diagnosis of non-epileptic psychogenic attack in an external health center. The patient was diagnosed with seizure recordings in Elec-troencephalography-video monitoring. The patient responded well to the antiepileptic treatment and became seizure-free.
