Article Abstract
Reading epilepsy usually presents with jaw myoclonus and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.We report a 12-year-old gird with absence seizures induced by reading,which were diagnosed by video EEG.An absence seizure with generalized 3-Hz spike-and-wave discharge occurred within 30 seconds of each reading session.Treatment with valproate caused complete seizure control,with therapy successfully discontinued after 2 years.
