Video Game Induced Seizures JNNP 57:925-931, Ferrie,C.D.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Fifteen patients who experienced epileptic seizures while playing video games are described together with a review of 20 cases in the English literature.Nine of the 15 cases and all but two of the reported cases experienced their first seizure while playing video games.Two thirds of patients had idiopathic generalized epilepsy and mainly reported generalized tonic clonic seizures and myoclonic jerks while playing video games.In this series,30%with idiopathic generalized epilepsy had juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.Overall,70%of patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy were photosensitive to intermittent photic stimulation and the mechanism of seizure provocation was probably similar to that of television induced seizures,although sensitivity to specific patterns was sometimes important.Two children had self-induced video game seizures.
