Panayiotopoulos Syndrome - Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
Paediatric epileptic syndromes are easily identified by the classical seizure semiologies and the electrical signatures of these epilepsies. However some of the less discussed entities can cause diagnostic confusion by their bizarre manifestations. One such scenario is that of a child presenting with ictal vomiting with or without autonomic manifestations. This intriguing epileptic phenomenology of Panayiotopolous syndrome and its genesis is systematically explored in this review.
