Abstract
|
|
|
|
Abdominal epilepsy is an uncommon disorder and a rare cause of recurrent abdominal pain of children. Diagnostic criteria of this disorder include otherwise unexplained, paroxysmal gastrointestinal complaints, symptoms of a central nerve system disturbance, an abnormal electroencephalogram with a finding specific for a seizure disorder, and improvement with anticonvulsant medication. We present a case of a 6-year-old boy with abdominal epilepsy presenting with recurrent, paroxysmal abdominal pain for 4 years. This patient had definite electroencephalogram abnormalities and a striking response to administration of an anticonvulsant. (Korean J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2007; 10: 202∼205)
