Review on PubMed[edit]

The article mentions "The International League against Epilepsy has not yet recognized Jeavons syndrome". I did a google scholar/pubmed check and found the following relevant review paper:

Striano S, Capovilla G, Trenité D, et al. Eyelid myoclonia with absences (Jeavons syndrome): A well-defined idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndrome or a spectrum of photosensitive conditions?. Epilepsia (Series 4) [serial online]. May 2, 2009;50:15-19. Available from: Academic Search Premier, Ipswich, MA. Accessed February 21, 2013. doi:10.1111/j.1528-1167.2009.02114.x. PMID 19469840

Would be great if someone with access to the full text could take a stab at incorporating it here. Maralia (talk) 02:52, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
