LIKE the first patient known to have infantile spasms, the first patient with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) whose history was well known was a doctor's son. Herpin, author of the classical report on this condition, attempted to circumscribe the principal symptom with various terms, such as "impulsions," "sécousses," "commotions épileptiques," without attaching any labels to it (Table J). Rabot later introduced the neutral yet expressive description "myoclonia" into the terminology of epilepsy. In order to prevent confusion with the rare, progressively degenerative myoclonus epilepsy, Lundborg in his terminology emphasized the intermittent nature of the jerks. In 1957, Christian and the writer described this type of idiopathic epilepsy, characterized by intermittent morning jerks, on the basis of 47 cases as a clinically and clearly definable epileptic syndrome. Almost thirty years later, this syndrome has been rediscovered in the United States and brought to the notice of the English-speaking world by Asconapé and Penry and by Delgado-Escueta and Enrile-Bacsal. Delgado-Escueta, and before him, Matthes honored the writer by naming the syndrome after him.
