Resumen
POZO ALONSO, Albia; POZO LAUZAN, Desiderio y POZO ALONSO, Desi. Epilepsia de la infancia con paroxismos occipitales. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 1999, vol.71, n.3, pp. 174-177. ISSN 1561-3119.
Is is reported that epilepsy of childhood with occipital paroxysms is an epileptic syndrome that is well defined. It is included in the group of related idiopathic epilepsies with localization. Seizures habitually begin with visual symptoms, which are ocassionally followed by hemiclonic, complex partial, and generalized tonicclonic seizures. The interictal EEG shows spike-wave complexes of occipital and temporal posterior localization that are suppressed by eye opening. A patient aged 8 in whom the clinical and electroencephalographic criteria of epilepsy of childhood with occipital paroxysms are present is studied in this paper. Emphasis is made on the apparently benign evolution of this syndrome.
