Infancy: A Report of Twenty-Nine Children. Journal of

Abstract
Twenty-nine children with gratification phenomena seen in
last 10 years (January 2008 to December 2017) were analyzed retrospectively. A
proper history, eyewitness account, and video recordings of the event helped in
making the diagnosis. Twenty-seven out of 29 (93%) children with gratification
phenomena were females. Four patterns of gratification phenomena were seen.
Three of these patterns not described before are reported. A typical
gratification phenomenon was seen in 16 of 29 (55%) children. At the time of
referral, 24% of these children were labeled epileptic and were on
antiepileptic medication. This benign condition has to be recognized and
extensive investigations should be avoided.
