title: Suppressors of interictal discharges in idiopathic childhood occipital epilepsy of Gastaut.
abstract: Idiopathic childhood occipital epilepsy of Gastaut (ICOE-G) is a rare form of epilepsy, characterized by visual hallucinations, periods of blindness, motor seizures, and migraine-like symptoms. A characteristic EEG feature is fixation-off sensitivity: epileptiform discharges are suppressed by visual input. Here, we present an 11-year-old girl suffering from ICOE-G, who was studied to identify potential additional suppressors of the epileptiform discharges.
