Özet

Ani görme kaybı çocukluk yaş grubunda sık rastlanmayan bir semptomdur. Ayırıcı tanıda multipl skleroz ve oksipital metastatik hastalık gibi ciddi ve endişe verici hastalıklar olduğu gibi, migren, oksipital epilepsi ve hipoglisemi gibi tedavi edilebilir hastalıklar da göz önüne alınmalıdır. Bu yazıda akut geçici görme kaybı atakları ile başvuran ve benign oksipital epilepsi tanısı alan 7 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunulmaktadır.
