Its incidence is usually underestimated, because of the typical unusual clinical manifestations of the seizures with predominant autonomic changes.</p><p><strong>Case report:</strong> We describe a classical case of Panayiotopoulos syndrome, with recurrent seizures, but good response to antiepileptic drug treatment and remission after a few years.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The importance of the clinical suspicion of this epileptic syndrome and the usefulness of an electroencephalographic recording including a period of sleep is underlined. In most diagnosed cases prognosis is good, although therapy is usually necessary for a variable period of time.</p>}, number={1}, journal={NASCER E CRESCER - BIRTH AND GROWTH MEDICAL JOURNAL}, author={Aires, Sofia and Carvalho, Joana and Chorão, Rui}, year={2016}, month={Feb.}, pages={41–43} }
