Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) may develop in adult life. We present two patients with PME appearing around the age of 30 years in whom the disorder represented a manifestation of Alzheimer's disease. This diagnosis must be considered in addition to possible Kufs' disease or myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF) when PME develops in young adults.
进行性肌阵挛癫痫（PME）可能在成年期发病。我们报告了两名30岁左右出现PME的患者，该疾病是阿尔茨海默病的一种表现形式。当年轻人发生PME时，除了可能的库夫斯病或伴有破碎红纤维的肌阵挛癫痫（MERRF）外，还必须考虑这种诊断。
