Panayiotopoulos Syndrome (PS) is a benign, common, age-dependent syndrome, with susceptibility to idiopathic vegetative seizures and autonomic status epilepticus. It is formally recognized by the International League against Epilepsy (ILAE). It is one of the three focal epileptic child benign syndromes next to rolandic epilepsy and idiopathic occipital epilepsy in children. It is characterized by its relative mildness and confusing manifestations. It is frequently misdiagnosed as non-epileptic disorders.
