Abstract
Sunflower Syndrome (Self-induced Photosensitive Epilepsy) is a rare epileptic disorder of childhood; characterized by stereotyped behavior; comprising of obsessively seeking out a light source, staring at the light source, and waving one hand in the front of their eye(s). It is a rare form of photosensitive epilepsy. The exact pathogenesis is unknown but the anatomical substrate of origin may be cingulate circuit. Sunflower syndrome is poorly characterized in medical literature and is often misdiagnosed in the neurology clinics. Identifying this specific syndrome is important for effective prevention by blue glasses and management with broad spectrum anti-epileptics medications. This is a single case report of a young boy; with electro-clinical data.
