Hot water epilepsy is a unique form of reflex epilepsy precipitated by the stimulus of bathing with hot water poured over the head. It is mostly seen in infants and children, with a predominance in males. Unlikely, we present a 32-year-old pregnancy woman with the incipient of reflex seizures triggered by pouring hot water over the head while having a bath during the gestation period and treated successfully with carbamazepine 400 mg/day therapy. Hot water epilepsy is known as a benign and self-limited reflex epilepsy, by firstly avoiding hot water or long showers and secondly using intermittent benzodiazepines or conventional antiepileptic drugs, may be sufficient to be seizure-free.
热水癫痫是一种独特的反射性癫痫，由用热水浇头沐浴的刺激所诱发。多见于婴幼儿，男性居多。我们报道了一名32岁的孕妇，在妊娠期洗澡时用热水浇头引发了初期反射性癫痫发作，通过每天400毫克卡马西平治疗成功控制病情。热水癫痫被认为是一种良性自限性反射性癫痫，首先避免热水或长时间淋浴，其次使用间歇性苯二氮䓬类药物或传统抗癫痫药物，可能足以实现无癫痫发作。
