Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epilepsy Research

Background:

  • Eating epilepsy is a rare reflex epilepsy.
  • Seizures are triggered by the act of eating.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on a series of eating epilepsy cases.
  • To characterize seizure types and EEG findings.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series.
  • Analysis of 78 patients diagnosed with eating epilepsy between December 1982 and June 1989.

Main Results:

  • 78 cases of eating epilepsy were identified.
  • Mastication triggered seizures in 98.72% of cases.
  • Complex partial seizures were the predominant type (97.44%).
  • Electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities were present in 32% of patients.

Conclusions:

  • Eating epilepsy is predominantly triggered by mastication.
  • Complex partial seizures are characteristic.
  • Further investigation into EEG findings is warranted.
