Reports of epileptic seizures evoked by eating are very scarce in the literature. A review of the reported cases suggests that various mechanisms may act as triggering factors in this form of reflex epilepsy. We studied a 17-year-old boy in whom the seizures precipitated by eating had been prevented by giving him some alerting stimuli during the meal. The attention-arousal coupling sustained by the meal seems to play a role in triggering the attacks.
