Article Synopsis
- Eating epilepsy is a rare condition in children where seizures are triggered specifically by eating, as demonstrated in a case of an eight-year-old girl with seizures primarily occurring during meals.
- Despite normal results from various diagnostic tests, her EEG indicated a seizure disorder, leading to a diagnosis of reflex eating epilepsy after ruling out other similar conditions.
- Treatment with oral sodium valproate significantly reduced the frequency of her seizures during meals, improving her overall symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Sandifer syndrome (SS) is a rare condition characterized by a combination of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and neurological or psychiatric issues, often leading to delayed diagnosis.
- A systematic review of existing literature, along with two new cases, revealed that most patients show symptom improvement with treatment for GER; however, those with anatomical anomalies often required surgical intervention.
- The study suggests that healthcare providers should consider SS in patients with unusual posturing and that surgical options may be beneficial, particularly for those with anatomical issues or unresolved symptoms after a month of non-surgical treatment.
