As epilepsias mioclônicas progressivas (EMP) são um grupo raro de epilepsias de evolução debilitante e prognóstico ruim. Seu desafio reside na dificuldade do diagnóstico etiológico e na ausência de um tratamento específico para cada entidade. Apesar disso, avanços recentes na área de genética molecular vêm possibilitando melhor compreensão da etiopatogenia e diagnóstico dessas doenças. Neste trabalho, revisamos os conhecimentos atuais a respeito das EMP com ênfase nos aspectos clínicos e genéticos.
