RESUMO
Congenital malformations of the lung are rare and vary widely in their presentation and severity. The most common manifestation of the congenital cystic disease of the lung at newborn and early infancy is respiratory distress. Later on in life, cysts usually lose this compressive character and may remain asymptomatic until infection occurs, while producing cough, dyspnea and thoracic pain. The purpose of this study is to review authors institutional experience of congenital cystic lung disease, with specific reference to diagnosis, treatment, as well as outcome, furthermore, to present some cases with unusual clinical manifestations.

INTRODUCTION: Visually evoked seizures have been reported for almost 2,000 years. This source of seizure activity, however, seems to have increased recently with the advent of new technologies used for television and computer games. METHODS: The present paper reviews the literature regarding this interesting phenomenon. RESULTS: After our review, it does appear that visually evoked seizures have increased in frequency during the twentieth century. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that knowledge of visually evoked seizures may aid neuroscientists in further exploration of the pathophysiology of seizure activity and its related preventive measures. Further studies are necessary to prove the etiology of such seizure activity.
