Lafora-body disease (LBD) is a rare neurometabolic disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance associated with progressive myoclonic epilepsy. We report here the first description of ictal and interictal recording by electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) of a 15-y-old girl suffering from LBD. Conclusions: Complementary use of MEG and EEG might be of future help to the clinician in better defining the pathophysiology of complex seizures, and also in patients with progressive neurological disorders, despite the poor prognosis of syndromes such as LBD.

Abstract

Lafora-body disease (LBD) is a rare neurometabolic disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance associated with progressive myoclonic epilepsy. We report here the first description of ictal and interictal recording by electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) of a 15-y-old girl suffering from LBD. Conclusions: Complementary use of MEG and EEG might be of future help to the clinician in better defining the pathophysiology of complex seizures, and also in patients with progressive neurological disorders, despite the poor prognosis of syndromes such as LBD.
