All the patients were photosensitive. All of them had associated generalized, mostly nocturnal, tonic\u2013clonic seizures. During the evolution, 13 patients presented episodes of EM status. Despite adequate antiepileptic treatment, the patients remained drug resistant for many years or throughout the evolution.
