Abstract
Eyelid myoclonia with absences (or Jeavons syndrome) is an idiopathic reflex generalized epilepsy, which has unique clinical and EEG features. It is characterised by the triad of: 1. eyelid myoclonia with and without absences; 2. eye closure-induced seizures, EEG paroxysms or both; 3. photosensitivity. The syndrome is not very frequent and is not well recognized in the paediatric population. We report the case of two children in whom eyelid myoclonia with absences was misdiagnosed as facial tics.
