    Summary

    This study details two cases of reading epilepsy, a rare reflex epilepsy. Both patients achieved seizure control with anti-epileptic drugs, highlighting effective treatment options.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Epileptology

    Background:

    • Reading epilepsy is a rare form of reflex epilepsy triggered by visual stimuli.
    • Understanding its diverse clinical presentations and electroencephalographic (EEG) features is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Two distinct cases of reading epilepsy were followed for 9 and 7 years.
    • Case 1: Alexic aura followed by tonic-clonic seizures. Case 2: Jaw clenching followed by loss of consciousness.
    • Neuroradiological studies, including CT scans, were unremarkable in both patients.

    Findings:

    • Seizures in both cases were effectively controlled with anti-epileptic treatment.
    • Clinical and EEG features varied between the two patients.
    • The authors propose three groups of reflex epilepsy based on seizure characteristics and EEG findings.

    Implications:

    • This classification aids in understanding the heterogeneity of reflex epilepsies.
    • Effective anti-epileptic drug therapy can manage reading epilepsy.
    • Further research into the neurophysiological mechanisms of reflex seizures is warranted.
