We present three unrelated cases of genetically confirmed progressive myoclonic epilepsy of the Unverricht–Lundborg type who
were treated with Levetiracetam as adjunctive therapy for their myoclonus. All cases responded with decrease of their myoclonus
and improvement of quality of life. Two were able to return to or continue their employment. Patients tolerated the drug well
without side effects reported. Levetiracetam appears to be a useful antimyoclonic agent in cases of progressive myoclonic
epilepsy and should be considered for adjunctive therapy.
