Abstract

The author reports three cases of blindness or hemianopia in children after epilepsy, all of which recovered vision within 24 hours. The three cases the author saw were all children, and this phenomenon has not been seen in adults. EEG abnormalities are often limited to the temporal, parietal, and occipital regions. The occipital lobe is less stable in the immature cortex of children, so localized slow waves in the occipital region of the EEG are more common in children; and occipital epileptic active lesions are more common in epileptic children, and about 36% of this type of epileptic children may have multiple Some form of visual impairment, such as strabismus, nystagmus, myopia, dyslexia, or visual hallucinations. The electrical activity in the occipital region of congenitally blind children is often abnormal, even if these children do not have seizures, the appearance of spikes and sharp waves in the occipital region
