  • Recent advance on photosensitive occipital lobe epilepsy

    Photosensitive occipital lobe epilepsy (POLE) is a rare idiopathic reflex focal epilepsy that can occur in all age groups. It is characterized by occipital lobe seizures induced by flashing stimuli (flashing sunlight, video games, TV commercials and programs, etc.). Photoparoxysmal response on EEG is induced by intermittent photic stimulation; Ictal EEG shows rapid spike rhythms are originated from the occipital region. There are no obvious abnormalities in brain image. POLE responds well to anti-seizure medications and has a good prognosis. This article reviews the research progress on POLE in order to improve the clinician’s understanding and reduce the rates of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
