“…This description is excellent, and if the term Lennox syndrome was confined to such cases one of the problems of nosology would disappear. Harper (1968) stressed the injuries sustained in the falls. Kruse (1968) describes sudden falls after which the child immediately gets up, and longer falls in which the child falls as if struck by lightning, falling either straight forward or backward; nods may occur in succession and in some attacks there is a cry.…”

“…There is considerable confusion about the nomenclature and definition of minor motor seizures. It is especially difficult to classify patients in whom one type of seizure pattern evolves into or co-exists with one or more of the other seizure types (Livingston 1954, Lennox 1960, Jeavons and Bower 1961, deBiolley 1967, Harper 1968, Lance 1968, Schmidt and Wilder 1968. Clinically, Livingston (1954) has divided them into the 'absence' or staring spell, the myoclonic jerk, and the akinetic attack; the three constituting the 'petit ma1 triad' of Lennox.…”

“…Myoclonic jerks may also be the sole or predominant manifestation of epilepsy in childhood. This variety, which Harper (1968) termed 'true myoclonic epilepsy in childhood', usually has its onset in infancy or early childhood.
