Seizures triggered by eating - A rare form of reflex epilepsy: A systematic review.

Eating epilepsy is a rare disorder, characterised by reflex seizures induced by food intake. It is highly heterogenous, with clinical signs and EEG findings varying between patients. However, common features do emerge from the reported literature.

Seizures triggered by eating: a rare form of reflex epilepsy.

Eating epilepsy is rare and comprises reflex seizures induced by food intake presenting with broad clinical manifestations. Despite this heterogeneity, a unique focal impaired awareness seizure semiology localizing to specific brain regions has been noted. Here, we present a case with video-EEG depicting this characteristic clinical presentation and its informative electrographic correlate.
