Abstract
This is a report of two neurologically normal patients who had primary generalized seizures consisting of irregular fluttering or twitching movements of the eyelids accompanied by generalized, rhythmic 9- to 15-Hz electroencephalographic discharges as well as infrequent generalized tonic-clonic seizures. This is a syndrome of idiopathic generalized epilepsy that responds to treatment with valproic acid.
