The characteristics of<unk>  is awakening<unk>  jerks and<unk> -tonic-clonic grand mal convulsions which is mostly drug refractory. The characteristic signs of<unk>  are brief episodes of involuntary muscle twitching. These are brief episodes of involuntary muscle contractions occurring early in the morning or shortly before falling asleep. They are more common in the arms than in the legs and may result in dropping objects.<unk>  jerks may as well appear in clusters. Other seizure types include those with either motor or non motor generalized onset. The onset of symptoms is generally around age 10-16 although some patients can present in their 20s or even early 30s. The<unk>  jerks generally precede the generalized tonic-clonic seizures by several months. Sleep deprivation is a major factor in triggering seizures in<unk>  patients. According to behavioural study there are impulsivity and also executive function impairment because of dysfunction of the prefrontal lobe. Abnormal growth routes of brain development arose through the first 2 years of<unk>  diagnosis. Interictal generalized spike-wave discharges (SWD) and normal background activity was found the Electroencephalography (EEG) examination of<unk>  patients. Though patients responded well in pharmacological treatment, but there was high chance of recurrence on discontinuation of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).
