The ratio of male to female was 1:2. There was a history of benign infantile convulsion in the first or second degree relatives, and the inheritance was autosomal dominant. During the seizure, the movement stopped, the head and eyes deflected to one side, the whole body muscle tension increased or accompanied by cyanosis, and then one side of the limb clonic twitch, which could spread into bilateral synchronous or asynchronous clonic movement. The interictal EEG was normal. Between successive episodes, unilateral slow waves and spike slow waves were recorded in the parietooccipital region. The recruitment rhythm of EEG during seizure starts from the central occipital region of one side and spreads to one hemisphere and the whole brain successively.

Benign infantile seizures may occur when awake or sleeping. Convulsive symptoms include binocular syntropia, head or body turning to one side, and slight clonic movement may involve the eye muscles, face and limbs. Muscle tension may be slightly increased. Crying during sleep is often the initial manifestation, followed by mild convulsions. Half of the patients had simple automatism, such as smacking, chewing, salivating, swallowing and so on, or aimless movement of the limbs (somatic automatism), but lack of complex and subtle automatism. The duration of the attack is 30-200 seconds. It often appears in a continuous series and can be followed by systemic attack. One to 10 episodes in one day, lasting for 1 to 3 days, and recurred within a few weeks.

The symptoms of epilepsy in children with minor seizures are sudden and short-term loss of consciousness, No drowsiness after seizures, interruption of language and cessation of activities during seizures, fixed in a certain position, no falling down, and staring blankly.
