A 14-year-old right-handed girl suffering from absence seizures from age 6 began to have reflex seizures elicited by reading and watching television when she was 13. Neurophysiological studies showed pattern sensitivity and photo-sensitivity. VEPs, obtained with flash and pattern reversal stimulation, were normal. This atypical form of reading epilepsy suggests an interaction of pattern vision and cognitive functions as precipitating stimuli in reflex seizures.

Abstract
A 14-year-old right-handed girl suffering from absence seizures from age 6 began to have reflex seizures elicited by reading and watching television when she was 13. Neurophysiological studies showed pattern sensitivity and photo-sensitivity. VEPs, obtained with flash and pattern reversal stimulation, were normal. This atypical form of reading epilepsy suggests an interaction of pattern vision and cognitive functions as precipitating stimuli in reflex seizures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
