Abstract

Visual sensitivities include photosensitivity, eye closure sensitivity, fixation off-eye closed and pattern sensitivity. Fixation off-eye closed sensitivity occurs while eye closed and the period lasting for more than 3 s and persisting as long as the eyes remain closed or when fixation was interrupted. In this case report, a 19 years old female patient had a history of a single generalized seizure one year ago. Although there is no more seizure, electroencephalography (EEG) examination like as a status epilepticus at different times. When we examined EEG, we recognized these discharges became when eyes closed and persisted as long as eyes closed. In addition, video recording showed us eyelid myoclonus without absence during eyes closed and discharged on EEG. It is aimed to discuss the fixation-off sensitivity and eyelid myoclonus accompanied by literature with this case report.

Özet

Vizüel sistem ilişkili duyarlılıklar içerisinde; ışığa duyarlılık, göz kapatma duyarlılığı, fiksasyon kaybı-göz kapama duyarlılığı ve patern duyarlılığı yer almaktadır. Fiksasyon kaybı-göz kapama duyarlılığında gözlerin kapanmasıyla veya 1–3 saniyelik latent periyot sonrasında bilateral oksipital bölgelerde belirgin jeneralize deşarjlar meydana gelir ve gözlerin kapalı kaldığı sürece devam eder, gözlerin açılmasıyla son bulur. Bu olgu sunumunda 19 yaşında kadın hastanın bir yıl önce tek jeneralize nöbet öyküsü ile gerçekleştirilen tekrarlayan elektroensefalografi incelemeleri status lehine yorumlanması üzerine tetkik edildiğinde göz kapama-fiksasyon kaybı duyarlılığına sekonder jeneralize deşarjları kayıtlandı. Hastanın eş zamanlı video kaydı ile absansın eşlik etmediği göz kapağı miyoklonusu olduğu dikkat çekti. Olgu sunumu ile literatür eşliğinde fiksasyon kaybı duyarlılığı ve göz kapağı miyoklonusunu tartışmak hedeflenmiştir.
