Abstract

This is a report of a 21-year-old woman with reading epilepsy. Clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) observations are presented while the patient read a news magazine in Spanish, read a magazine in English, read an announcement repetitively, viewed comic strips without legends, made a mathematical calculation. Only reading in Spanish produced clinical and EEG paroxysms. This case report supports the "communication" hypothesis as opposed to hypotheses that emphasize proprioceptive and other "lower order" stimuli in evoking seizures while reading.

摘要

这是一篇关于一名21岁患有阅读性癫痫女性的报告。报告呈现了患者在阅读西班牙语新闻杂志、阅读英语杂志、重复阅读一则公告、观看无文字说明的连环漫画以及进行数学计算时的临床和脑电图（EEG）观察结果。只有阅读西班牙语会引发临床和脑电图发作。本病例报告支持“交流”假说，反对那些在阅读引发癫痫发作时强调本体感觉及其他“低阶”刺激的假说。
