The term "reflex epilepsy" denotes epilepsies characterized by a specific mode of seizure precipitation. Seventeen patients in whom the act of eating precipitated seizures are described. Interictal EEG showed generalized seizure discharges in three and focal discharges in five patients. In four patients EEG was recorded during eating. In one of these, the frequency of seizure discharge increased, but none had a clinical seizure during the recording. Eating epilepsy is predominantly a disorder of young adults, and the triggering mechanisms are extremely complex and elaborate. The role of the limbic system and amygdala in the precipitation of eating-induced seizures is discussed.
“反射性癫痫”一词指以特定发作诱发模式为特征的癫痫。本文描述了17例由进食行为诱发癫痫发作的患者。发作间期脑电图显示，3例患者有全身性发作放电，5例有局灶性放电。4例患者在进食时进行了脑电图记录。其中1例患者发作放电频率增加，但在记录过程中均未出现临床发作。进食性癫痫主要发生于年轻人，其触发机制极其复杂且精细。本文还讨论了边缘系统和杏仁核在进食诱发癫痫发作中的作用。
