has gloss | eng: Panayiotopoulos syndrome, otherwise known as early-onset benign partial epilepsy with occipital paroxysms, or idiopathic susceptibility to early-onset benign childhood seizures with electroencephalographic (EEG) occipital spikes , is an epileptic syndrome estimated to affect between one in seven and one in ten children with epilepsy . It is idiopathic and recedes after childhood. The symptoms are characterised by infrequent autonomic seizures (often as few as one or two), more specifically vomiting, deviation of the eyes and jerking movements. Anti-epileptic drugs can be prescribed for treatment, but are usually not necessary unless the number or intensity of seizures is particularly high —generally, sufferers will show no developmental problems and will go into remission after a period of two to three years. |
