Abstract

A 13-year-old boy with documented epilepsy evoked by eating, a rare form of reflex epilepsy, experienced only partial control with anticonvulsant medication. Repetitive peripheral sensory input was necessary to evoke seizures in this patient. The seizures remitted completely after he lost several fingers in an accident. Decreased sensory input presumably altered the seizure threshold so that the seizures were eliminated.

摘要

一名13岁的男孩被记录患有由进食诱发的癫痫，这是一种罕见的反射性癫痫形式，使用抗惊厥药物仅能部分控制病情。对该患者而言，重复性外周感觉输入是诱发癫痫发作所必需的。在一次事故中他失去了几根手指后，癫痫发作完全缓解。推测感觉输入减少改变了癫痫发作阈值，从而消除了癫痫发作。
