Introduction

The worldwide recognition of Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), or Janz Syndrome, has created confusion about the criteria, treatment in the different age groups, and lifestyle recommendations. Patients with JME still face suboptimal management.

In the past five years many studies in JME patients have provided new insights, which will be addressed in the International Conference on JME held at the Bel Air Hotel, The Hague, The Netherlands on October 26^th - 28^th 2012
