The occipital lobe involvement in the pathogenesis of the migraine aura, frequent occurrence of photogenic stimuli as the provoking factors of a migraine attack, still unsatisfactory explanation of the relation between migraine and epilepsy have drawn our attention to the photosensitivity in the idiopathic headaches, particularly in the developmental period. Photosensitivity is detected in EEG as a paroxysmal response to intermittent photic stimulation. This reaction called a photoparoxysmal response (PPR) has to be regarded as genetically determined EEG-symptom and occurs in 1.
