Abstract

Certain types of stimuli can trigger epileptic seizures in patients with epilepsy. This phenomenon is defined as reflex seizure. Stimuli may be in visual, auditory, tactile, or cognitive forms, and orgasm may trigger epileptic seizures. A 42-year-old man was admitted to our department with orgasm-induced generalized seizures that had started 6 months ago. He was examined using electroencephalography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging, and was treated with levetiracetam and clobazam. His seizures were controlled well. In this article, we aim to present our case and review the literature on the subject.

Özet

Epilepsi hastalarında, belirli tipte uyaranlar epileptik nöbetleri tetikleyebilir. Bu antite refleks nöbetler olarak tanımlanır. Bu uyarı görsel, duysal, dokunsal ve bilişsel biçimde olabilir. Orgazm epileptik nöbetleri tetikleyebilir. Kırk iki yaşında erkek hasta 6 ay önce başlayan orgazm ile uyarılan jeneralize nöbetlerle kliniğimize başvurdu. Elektroensefalografi ve kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile tetkik edildi. Levetirasetam ve klobazam ile tedavi edildi. Nöbetleri kontrol altına alındı. Bu yazıda olgumuzun sunulması ve konuya ilişkin literatürün derlenmesi amaçlandı.
