AbstractEating epilepsy (EE) is a rare form of reflex epilepsy precipitated by food. Ictal semiology may vary depending on the etiology, age at onset, and cerebral areas involved in the epileptogenic network. In childhood, EE could manifest as tonic head drop seizures, generalized seizures, or late-onset epileptic spasms. However, in teenagers or adults, seizures are often preceded by aura and commonly manifest as focal seizures with or without impaired awareness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities are seen in less than half of the reported cases. Posterior or multifocal interictal discharges can be seen in patients with EE. No randomized data about treatment are available. Structural epilepsies or coexistent unprovoked seizures other than eating seizures are poor prognostic factors for pharmacological outcome.

ABSTRACTHot water epilepsy is a form of reflex epilepsy in childhood. We report two children from Saudi Arabia, who presented with seizures following pouring hot water on their head, while bathing. They were not treated by anti-epileptic medication. By decreasing the temperature of the water used for bathing, the seizures were avoided to a large extent in them. This form of epilepsy is reported to be seldom present in various countries but there are no records of its presence in Saudi Arabia.

Objective:To describe the clinical and genetic findings in a cohort of subjects with bathing epilepsy, a rare form of reflex epilepsy.Methods:We investigated by Sanger and targeted re-sequencing the SYN1 gene in 12 individuals from 10 different families presenting with seizures primarily triggered by bathing or showering. Additional twelve subjects with hot-water epilepsy were also screened.Results:In all families with bathing epilepsy we identified 8 distinct pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants and 2 variants of unknown significance in SYN1, nine of which are novel. Conversely, none of the subjects with hot-water epilepsy displayed SYN1 variants. In mutated subjects, seizures were typically triggered by showering or bathing regardless of the water temperature. Additional triggers included fingernail-clipping, hair-cutting, or watching someone take a shower. Non-provoked seizures and a variable degree of developmental delay were also common.Conclusion:bathing epilepsy is genetically distinct reflex epilepsy mainly caused by SYN1 mutations.

Reflex epilepsy, where epileptic seizures are triggered by specific sensory stimuli, affects 4–7% of patients suffering from epilepsy. Reading epilepsy, where all or almost all epileptic seizures are induced by reading, is a very rare form of reflex epilepsy. Two types of this disease have been distinguished: the most common type is caused by sudden muscle jaw contractions (myoclonic variant) and it lasts for a very short time (for example few seconds), while the second type is characterised by focal alexia seizures (focal variant with alexia). The article highlights the clinical picture and treatment of reading epilepsy in a 18-yearold patient. In this case, seizures were always caused by at least 2 hours of continuous reading and were preceded by jaw myoclonus. The treatment included sodium valproate and levetiracetam.
