Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy

A severe form of age-related epileptic encephalopathies characterized by the onset of tonic spasms within the first 3 months of life that can be generalized or lateralized, independent of the sleep cycle, and that can occur hundreds of times per day, leading to psychomotor impairment and death.

Myoclonus

Very brief, involuntary random muscular contractions occurring at rest, in response to sensory stimuli, or accompanying voluntary movements.

This case should be classified as Ohtahara syndrome accompanied by myoclonus, because of the spasms in series interrupting the suppression-burst pattern, and the etiological factor of brain malformation.
