Herein, we describe an 87-year old male patient presenting with abrupt-onset rhythmic myoclonic jerks that were evaluated as synchronous positive and negative myoclonus. Further etiological investigations revealed that the myoclonus was associated with ictogenesis, and appropriate antiepileptic treatment provided total cessation of the movements. To my knowledge, this is a unique case of myoclonic status epilepticus in an elderly patient, which may have been associated with a cerebrovascular disease. In the presentation of this case, we will review the related literature and discuss some considerations to explain the pathophysiology of epileptic myoclonic movements and the possible role of pontine lesions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1709348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,16]],"date-time":"2020-06-16T23:41:51Z","timestamp":1592350911000},"page":"463-466","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Case of Myoclonic Epilepsy Presenting with Status Epilepticus in an Elderly Male Patient"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Halil","family":"Onder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Yozgat City Hospital, Yozgat, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"10.1055\/s-0040-1709348\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"687","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yebeh.2009.01.025","article-title":"Epileptic negative myoclonus: SPECT, PET, and video\/EEG studies and the dramatic effects of levetiracetam","volume":"14","author":"Yu","year":"2009","journal-title":"Epilepsy Behav"},{"key":"10.1055\/s-0040-1709348\/ref-2","first-page":"199","article-title":"Pathophysiology of negative myoclonus and asterixis","volume":"67","author":"Shibasaki","year":"1995","journal-title":"Adv Neurol"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.1055\/s-0040-1709348\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"59","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pediatrneurol.2009.02.014","article-title":"Epileptic negative myoclonus as the presenting seizure type in rolandic epilepsy","volume":"41","author":"Watemberg","year":"2009","journal-title":"Pediatr Neurol"},{"key":"10.1055\/s-0040-1709348\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neucli.2006.12.001","article-title":"Negative myoclonus.
