  • Abstract
    Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), like other forms of idiopathic generalized epilepsy, shows a marked female predominance. However, few studies have specifically addressed the role of sex in its long-term prognosis. We performed a systematic review of the literature relevant to JME prognosis, focusing on sex-based differences in prognostic factors and outcome.
