	Late onset childhood occipital epilepsy
		Occipital foci tend to disappear in adult life, and the subsidence of the electroencephalographic abnormality is usually accompanied by a cessation of seizures” (Gibbs and Gibbs 1952).
		Late onset childhood occipital epilepsy is rare, with a probable prevalence of 0.2% to 0.9% of all epilepsies, 2% to 7% of benign childhood focal seizures, and 10% to 20% of all benign childhood occipital seizures (Panayiotopoulos 1999a; 2000).
		The differential diagnosis of late onset childhood occipital epilepsy is mainly from possibly symptomatic (cryptogenic) or symptomatic occipital epilepsy, celiac disease, and migraine with aura, basilar, or acephalgic migraine (Panayiotopoulos 1999a; 1999b; 2002).
