Cerebral insult-like partial status epilepticus in the early-onset variant of benign childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms.
Nine children with the early-onset variant of benign childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms had protracted, cerebral insult-like, ictal episodes of impairment of consciousness, vomiting, tonic deviation of the eyes and hemi-convulsions or generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Long term follow-up indicates that this is an entirely benign epileptic condition.
