Abdominal epilepsy is an uncommon cause for abdominal pain in children and adults. Although its abdominal symptoms may be similar to those of the irritable bowel syndrome, it may be distinguished from the latter condition by the presence of altered consciousness during some of the attacks, a tendency toward tiredness after an attack, and by an abnormal EEG. Abdominal epilepsy is usually treated with anticonvulsant medication. This unusual cause for abdominal pain should be considered in patients with the appropriate abdominal symptoms who do not respond to the usual symptomatic therapy.
腹型癫痫是儿童和成人腹痛的一种罕见病因。尽管其腹部症状可能与肠易激综合征相似，但可通过部分发作时存在意识改变、发作后有疲倦倾向以及脑电图异常与后者相鉴别。腹型癫痫通常用抗惊厥药物治疗。对于有适当腹部症状但对常规对症治疗无反应的患者，应考虑这种不寻常的腹痛病因。
