Abstract
Vigabatrin-induced myoclonus is rarely described in adult with partial epilepsy, We report vigavatrin-induced mulrifocal action myoclonus in a 34 year-old female with symptomatic partial epilepsy. Hwe seizures were resistant to catbamazepine. Vigabatrin was started as add-on therapy and multifocal action myoclonus was developed one month later. Myoclonus disappeared after withdrawal of vigabatrin and reappeared with re-use of it. Based on clinical features of myoclonus, her myoclonus may be non-epileptic in nature.
