Abstract
|
|
|
|
Eating epilepsy is a rare form of reflex epilepsy where seizures are triggered by eating. We describe a case series of 12 such patients presenting to our epilepsy clinic based in North India. Eating epilepsy was noted to have male predominance with focal seizures with impaired awareness. Most of these patients had either temporal or perisylvian localization. Clobazam taken half an hour before meal was found to be an effective add-on therapy in its management.
