  • Sindrom Panayiotopoulos - pogosta benigna epilepsija otroštva = Panayiotopoulos syndrome - a common benign epilepsy of childhood
    Nosan, Gregor ; Rener-Primec, Zvonka
    The Panayiotopoulos syndrome (PS) is a common and benign partial epilepsy occuring from early to late childhood. It affects 6% of children aged 1 to l5 years who have had at least l afebrile seizure; ... while its prevalence in the general pediatric population is 2 - 3 per 1000. Clinical manifestations comprise partial autonomic seizures with characteristic ictal vomiting, headache, pallor and possible ictal syncope, whereas consciousness and speech remain unaffected. Due to the diverse clinical manifestations of the seizures,which can affect all the functions of the autonomic nervous system and can last from several minutes to several hours, and as the child feels normal after some hours of sleep, the disease frequently remains unrecognized as an epileptic syndrome and is misdiagnosed as acute encephalitis, atypical migraine, cardiogenic syncope, gastroenteritis or other common diseases. The seizure most commonly occurs in sleep, and the child's developemental and neurological status is normal. The electroencephalogram (EEG), the only examination with pathological findings, shows multifocal, most frequently occipital spikes. The disease is benign and no treatment is usually required, but it may be instigated for a short period if there are frequent prolonged seizures. The prognosis is excellent; most of the children affected by the PS have 2 to 5 seizures, even prolonged autonomic seizures leave no ill effects. and the disease always disappears by adulthood.
