<P> Recent studies have shown that specific neurological findings have affected idiopathic occipital lobe epilepsies . Occipital lobe seizures are triggered by a flash, or a visual image that contains multiple colors . These are called flicker stimulation (usually through TV) these seizures are referred to as photo - sensitivity seizures . Patients having experienced occipital seizures described their seizures as featuring bright colors, and severely blurring their vision (vomiting was also apparent in some patients). Occipital seizures are triggered mainly during the day, through television, video games or any flicker stimulatory system . Occipital seizures originate from an epileptic focus confined within the occipital lobes . They may be spontaneous or triggered by external visual stimuli . Occipital lobe epilepsies are etiologically idiopathic, symptomatic, or cryptogenic . Symptomatic occipital seizures can start at any age, as well as any stage after or during the course of the underlying causative disorder . Idiopathic occipital epilepsy usually starts in childhood . Occipital epilepsies account for approximately 5% to 10% of all epilepsies . </P> <Ul> <Li> <P> Base of brain . </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Drawing to illustrate the relations of the brain to the skull . </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Occipital lobe in blue </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Occipital lobe </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Occipital lobe </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Ventricles of brain and basal ganglia.
