A 15-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency room because of a bilateral tonic-clonic seizure. The family reported that the episode began with rapid hand movements in front of the patient's eyes while staring at the sun. The patient has a history of multiple admissions in the emergency department due to similar events since the age of eight. Most occurrences were associated with episodes of frustration. The review of the literature has shown that this type of phenomenon, designated in some studies by sunflower syndrome, may be overlooked in patients with photosensitive epilepsy. Despite the unknown etiology, there are several reasons why patients experience this type of behavior, and thus a multidisciplinary approach is needed.
一位 15 岁女孩因双侧强直阵挛性发作被送往急诊室。据家属报告，该发作始于患者盯着太阳时眼前的快速手部运动。该患者自 8 岁起因类似事件多次在急诊科就诊。大多数发作与沮丧发作有关。文献复习表明，这种现象在一些研究中被称为向日葵综合征，可能在光敏性癫痫患者中被忽视。尽管病因不明，但患者出现这种行为有多种原因，因此需要多学科方法。
