[Diagnosis of paroxysmal episodes of eye rising in a child].
This report presents a case of a 7.5-year-old boy who was given a complete check-up with normal results for paroxysmal elevation of the eye with onset during seizures. The clinical aspect showed a tonic upgaze that has never been described in such an old patient. We describe this rare anomaly and review the literature. The main differential diagnosis was the presence of a tic.
