The study of ocular symptoms during seizures and of electroencephalograms between seizures in 244 children affected by partial epilepsy has allowed the isolation of nine cases of benign epilepsy with occipital paroxysms. Ocular symptoms as well as other accompanying symptomatology are detailed. The diagnostic procedure should address secondary occipital epilepsy and migraine with ocular symptoms.
