Abstract:
This research explores the rare occurrence of laughter-induced seizures, a form of reflex epilepsy documented in only one previous case in the literature. The patient, free from prior medical or neuropsychiatric history, exhibited seizures triggered solely by laughter. Electroencephalography and neuroimaging revealed normal results. Despite declining medical therapy, lifestyle modifications enabled seizure management. The study emphasizes the dearth of data on laughter-induced seizures, prompting the consideration of multimodal strategies for treatment. Further research is imperative to unveil the precise pathophysiology and establish standardized therapeutic approaches for this uncommon epileptic manifestation.
摘要:
这项研究探索了罕见的笑声诱发癫痫发作,在文献中,仅在先前的一例中记录了一种反射性癫痫。病人,没有既往医学或神经精神病史,表现出完全由笑声引发的癫痫发作。脑电图和神经影像学显示正常结果。尽管药物治疗下降,生活方式的改变使癫痫发作管理成为可能.该研究强调了缺乏笑声引起的癫痫发作的数据,促使人们考虑多模式治疗策略。必须进一步研究以揭示精确的病理生理学并为这种罕见的癫痫表现建立标准化的治疗方法。
