체위변화로 유발된 Reflex epilepsy 1례

Abstract

Reflex epilepsies are associated with specific physical stimulation and are classified in accordance with specific triggering mechanisms, such as flashing lights, sudden noise, thuch and movement. There have been reports of primery reading epilepsy and musicogenic epilepsy in Korea but no report of posture induced epilepsy to date.

We report a 46-years-old male patient who experienced recurrent generalized convulsion during postural change, without significant changes of blood pressure and pulse rate. The seizures were confirmed by ictal EEG during postural change and responded to anticonvulsant treatment.
