New page

'''Background'''
* Also known as early onset occipital epilepsy
* Common childhood epilepsy syndrome with partial seizures (1 in 8000 children)
* Most common in 2-10 years old, with a maximum around 5 years old

'''Clinic'''
* Autonomic dysfunction
** Pale
** Complain of feeling sick and may vomit
** Sweating
** Drooling
** Pupil dilatation or miosis
** Tachy- or bradycardia
* Eye deviation
* Sometimes tonic-clonic movements
* Headache after the seizure
* More than half of the seizures will occur in '''sleep''', particularly in the first hour after falling asleep.

'''EEG'''
* Spikes in one or both '''occipital lobes'''.
* Sometimes centro-temporal spikes.
* '''Fixation off sensitivity''' may be seen: The Spikes are seen when the child’s eyes are closed or if they are not fixating on an object. With eyes opened or fixated, the spikes disappear
* If the EEG done during awake is normal, an EEG during sleep is recommended
