Description
Eva Berg, Niels K.N. Focke, and Knut Brockmann ask how often childhood epilepsy hides behind a migraine label in a 2026 study. Self-limited epilepsy with autonomic seizures, once called Panayiotopoulos syndrome, often brings headache that mimics migraine.
Charts and EEG records covered 186 children aged 3 to 14 referred for migraine or headache over two years. Clear epilepsy was confirmed in 6.5 percent, 12 children, helped by drug response. Another 23 children, 12.4 percent of the group, met the signs but never got seizure medicine. In all, 18.8 percent received a possible to definite epilepsy diagnosis. Missed recognition during visits explained most gaps.
