Abstract

Reflex epilepsy is a condition in which seizures can be triggered habitually by an external stimulus or, less commonly, by internal mental processes. Seizures triggered by visual stimuli are common in cases of reflex epilepsy; however, epileptic seizures induced by sexual orgasm and somatosensory stimuli are very rare in the literature. In this study, two cases of reflex epilepsy triggered by sexual orgasm are reported.

Özet

Refleks epilepsi terimi duysal bir dış uyaran ya da daha az sıklıkla iç uyarana bağlı olarak gelişen epileptik nöbetleri tanımlamaktadır. Görsel uyaranlarla tetiklenen nöbetler refleks epilepsinin en sık tipidir. Seksüel orgazmın tetiklediği epileptik nöbetler ise literatürde çok nadirdir. Burada seksüel orgazm ile gelişen nöbetleri olan iki olgu sunulmuştur.
