Autonomic seizures and autonomic status epilepticus in early onset benign childhood occipital epilepsy (Panayiotopoulos syndrome)

Abstract: -To study clinical and EEG features of children with ictal vomiting and no underlying brain lesions (Panayiotopoulos syndrome). The subjects were 36 children aged 2-13 years. The onset of seizures occurred between 1 and 5 years of age. Fourteen children (38.8%) had a single seizure. Fourteen children (38.8%) had autonomic status epilepticus. Impairment of consciousness was reported in 30 (83.3%) children, eye deviation in 10 (27.7%) other autonomic symptoms and head deviation in 9, generalization in 8, visual … Show more

“…EEG of PS shows marked variability in terms of localization of focal spikes in one and serial EEG, generalized discharges, and indeed normal EEGs (Oguni et al, 1999;Panayiotopoulos, 2002;Covanis et al, 2003;Lada et al, 2003;Ohtsu et al, 2003;Sanders et al, 2004;Ferrie et al, 2006;Tedrus & Fonseca, 2006;Caraballo et al, 2007;Ferrie et al, 2007;Ohtsu et al, 2008;Panayiotopoulos, 2010).…”

“…Del mismo modo, inicialmente se definió que los pacientes mostraban elementos irritativos en los estudios EEG localizados en zonas occipitales en las tres cuartas partes de los casos [1]. Actualmente se sabe que hasta dos tercios de los pacientes presentan paroxismos occipitales que se acompañan en un 35% de paroxismos extraoccipitales (parietotemporales, centrotemporales y frontales) [8,14,15]. Incluso pueden existir casos de pacientes con clínica compatible en los que si sólo se realizan EEG en vigila no se hallen alteraciones [2].…”

“…Occipital epileptiform activity has mainly been described in idiopathic CEOP (Chahine and Mikati, 2006; Engel, 2001). Two sub‐types have been recognized, the early onset with autonomic symptoms and ictal vomiting, Panayiotopoulos syndrome (Koutroumanidis, 2007; Lada et al , 2003; Martinovic, 2001; Parisi et al , 2007; Tedrus and Fonseca, 2006) and the later onset Gastaut type (GT) (Gastaut, 1982; Loiseau, 1993).…”
