Panayiotopoulos Syndrome , also known as early onset occipital epilepsy, is a common childhood epilepsy syndrome with partial seizures. It emerges in mid–childhood usually between the ages of 3–10 years. Both boys and girls can develop this syndrome. We are reporting a case of 7 year old female child with focal seizures later became generalized and was associated with autonomous symptoms and brief loss of consciousness, The interictal EEG recording during sleep shows multifocal spikes and diffuse spike–and–wave discharges in the occipital region which is suggestive of Panayiotopoulos Syndrome
