The authors report the results of treatment of 14 patients (10 male, 4 female, average age 20.3 years) with benign myoclonic epilepsy. Valproate monotherapy led to control of seizures in 10 cases, and to a distinct reduction of seizure frequency in 3 cases. Thrombocytopenia was the only side-effect encountered in this study.
