Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy (PME) has been reported to be an unusual manifestation of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. We describe the case of a 46-year-old woman with Down Syndrome (47, XX +21), who developed a PME-like epilepsy together with an Alzheimer type deterioration. Our neurophysiological findings seem to confirm the peculiarity of this association also in Down Syndrome.

Abstract
Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy (PME) has been reported to be an unusual manifestation of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. We describe the case of a 46-year-old woman with Down Syndrome (47, XX +21), who developed a PME-like epilepsy together with an Alzheimer type deterioration. Our neurophysiological findings seem to confirm the peculiarity of this association also in Down Syndrome.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
