We present a case series of three boys with childhood epilepsy with myoclonic–atonic seizures (EMAS) who achieved complete remission during childhood only to develop absence seizures during early adolescence. In all three cases, the recurrent seizures resolved again with antiseizure drugs, and two are currently medication-free for a second time.
