Focal reading epilepsy-a rare variant of reading epilepsy: A case report

Abstract

Summary Reading epilepsy is a distinct form of epilepsy in which all or almost all seizures are precipitated by reading. Seizures typically show orofacial or jaw myoclonus. Nevertheless, reading epilepsy is not homogenous and its classification is unclear. We report a patient with reading-induced prolonged left temporal seizures, presenting clinically as dyslexia. © 2010 International League Against Epilepsy.
