Help! Are these Myoclonic Seizures?

Our son is 11 months old now. He started having these "jerks" on 10.26 (the night before he'd fallen and bumped the back of his head (not seriously)).
These started the following evening, before bedtime. We've consulted Pediatric Neurologists, but they haven't confirmed these movements as seizures.
EEG results came back normal.
Four days later his "jerks" subsided, and had nearly disappeared. Our biggest concern is that following these "jerky" episodes, his development and personality had changed for about a week.
We've also noticed that these movements(jerks) are usually triggered by his emotions and do not occur during sleep.

We're looking for some feedback as to what (if anything) he might have. Thanks.

The conclusion is he developed weird behavior when he was growing. He is out of the problem.

hi looks like it too me my son has smei and myoclonics. he needs an eeg and some aed. if eeg does not show anything then giving aed might make them go away then you will know for sure. soduim valporate seems to be the drug of choice for childhood myoclonis. good luck xxx

Thank you. My son he is doing very well so far, no meds needed.

Maybe - have you taken him to a neurologist yet?

[johnnymazer]

yes, with 3 doctors already. They were not sure about this. Since 2009.11.13, after he got some new toys, he was getting better. No more weird movement. Thank you.

My daughter has been doing this since she was a baby. And all her EEG's are abnormal. She tested negative for Dravet's Syndrome but all her doctors agree she has Lennox Gastaut Syndrome due to the multiple seizue types. my little girl is 8, she had these type seizues when she was a baby, now she has all type. Learn all you can about epilepsy and take the video to the Neurologist, we have many times in the past. Good luck and God bless.
