Abstract
An 18-year old man had a cluster of three seizures in a few hours and then remained seizure-free without medication; his mother has experienced seizures induced by movement. A 29-year olf man has had recurrent seizures for six years. In both cases, seizures were partial motor seizures induced by chewing. They are considered to be a particular variety of movement-induced seizures triggered by proprioceptive afferents of muscular origin. This explanation does not account for the great majority of the 63 published cases of seizures precipitated by eating. Eating seizures represent a heterogeneous group of seizures with discrete electroclinical signs and mechanisms. The term "eating seizures" should be preferred to the term "eating epilepsy".This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
