1. Reflex epilepsy

   Reflex seizures are epileptic seizures that are consistently induced by a specific stimulus or trigger making them distinct from other epileptic seizures, which are usually unprovoked. Reflex seizures are otherwise similar to unprovoked seizures and may be focal (simple or complex), generalized, myoclonic, or absence seizures. Epilepsy syndromes characterized by repeated reflex seizures are known as reflex epilepsies. Photosensitive seizures are often myoclonic, absence, or focal seizures in the occipital lobe, while musicogenic seizures are associated with focal seizures in the temporal lobe.Triggers may include various stimuli with the most common (75 to 80%) being flickering lights resulting in photosensitive seizures. Reflex epilepsies are generally thought to be genetic in origin. The inheritance pattern is dependent on the type of reflex epilepsy with some types lacking a specific genetic inheritance patterns. For example, photogenic epilepsy is thought to follow an autosomal dominant pattern with incomplete penetrance, while seizures triggered by proprioceptive stimuli do not follow an observable inheritance pattern. The underlying mechanism involves the stimulation of existing network of neurons by the specific trigger.The treatment of reflex epilepsy generally involves decreasing exposure to a person's triggers as well as anti-epileptic medications. Reflex epilepsy is relatively rare, making up approximately 5% of epilepsy syndromes.

1. reflex epilepsy

   Reflex epilepsy is a type of epilepsy in which seizures are triggered by specific physical stimuli, such as patterns of light, music, reading, or particular movements. These stimuli, which would not typically result in seizures for most individuals, trigger a neurological reaction in those with reflex epilepsy. This condition makes up around 5% of all cases of epilepsy. It is important to note that what triggers seizures can vary greatly among individuals with this type of epilepsy.

1. Reflex epilepsy

   Reflex Epilepsy is the cognomen to seizures which are generated by a person’s acuteness to sensor stimulation caused by the environment. Possibly the best-known type of reflex epilepsy to the general public is photosensitive epilepsy. Reflex epilepsy is also the most uncommon form of epilepsy, is only in generalized seizure format, and can be confirmed by EEG and photosensitive testing only.
