AB  - As a generalized form of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), absence status 
      epilepticus is the most common form. It manifests as prolonged, confusional 
      states of varying severity, and continuous or repetitive generalized discharges 
      of spikes, multiple spikes, and slow waves on EEG. Jeavons syndrome (JS) is a new 
      type of epilepsy syndrome. Hitherto, only four sets of monozygotic twin with JS 
      have been reported. Absence status epilepticus occurring in monozygotic twins 
      with JS have not been reported. Here we report on monozygotic male twins of 
      Chinese origin with JS. Both of them presented with status epilepticus with 
      eyelid myoclonia and absences.
