Three hundred sixty-two epileptic patients were examined clinically and electroencephalographically to determine the proportion with photosensitive epilepsy or showing photoconvulsive responses to intermittent photic stimulation (IPS). Also, 102 nonepileptic patients had an EEG done to find out the proportion showing photoconvulsive responses to IPS. Ten epileptic patients (2.76%) had photosensitive epilepsy, and six patients (1.6%) showed photoconvulsive responses to IPS. The nonepileptic patients showed no photoconvulsive responses to IPS. The relative rarity of photosensitive epilepsy and the greater incidence of nonreaction to photic stimulation in black African epileptics and nonepileptics compared with Caucasians indicate that black Africans are less photosensitive than Caucasians.
对362例癫痫患者进行了临床和脑电图检查，以确定光敏性癫痫患者的比例或对间歇性光刺激（IPS）表现出光惊厥反应的患者比例。此外，对102例非癫痫患者进行了脑电图检查，以查明对IPS表现出光惊厥反应的患者比例。10例癫痫患者（2.76%）患有光敏性癫痫，6例患者（1.6%）对IPS表现出光惊厥反应。非癫痫患者对IPS未表现出光惊厥反应。与白种人相比，黑非洲癫痫患者和非癫痫患者中光敏性癫痫相对罕见，对光刺激无反应的发生率更高，这表明黑非洲人比白种人对光的敏感性更低。
