What is another word for Childhood Benign Occipital Epilepsy?
Pronunciation: [t͡ʃˈa͡ɪldhʊd bɪnˈa͡ɪn ˈɒksɪpˌɪtə͡l ˈɛpɪlˌɛpsi] (IPA) 
Childhood Benign Occipital Epilepsy (CBOE), also known as Rolandic Epilepsy, is a common form of childhood epilepsy that primarily affects children between the ages of 3 and 13. This condition is characterized by seizures originating from the occipital lobe of the brain, causing various visual disturbances such as flickering lights, hallucinations, or partial blindness. Synonyms for CBOE include benign focal epilepsies of childhood, rolandic epilepsy with occipital paroxysms, or childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms. While CBOE is generally considered a benign condition, it can cause significant disruptions to a child's daily life and may require treatments such as antiepileptic medication to manage and control seizures. Early identification and proper management are crucial in helping children with CBOE lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
