Reflex periodic spasms induced by eating

Abstract

We report on two patients with reflex periodic spasms (PS) triggered by eating. Both patients also had significant cognitive and motor deficits. In both patients, reflex eating PS started during meal and occurred repeatedly at intervals of about 5-30 s, and the whole episode lasted about 10-15 min with 15-20 consecutive PS. Clinically, each PS was characterized by the trunk and head flexion, eyeball elevation, abduction of the upper limbs, and loss of consciousness. Ictal EEG recordings of PS revealed high-voltage sharp slow waves followed by a brief 1-2s voltage attenuation. Simultaneous EMG recording of right and left deltoid muscles revealed an abrupt increase of tone lasting 0.5-1.5s. In two patients, the origins of reflex PS were perirolandic suprasylvian and temporolimbic, respectively, because the first patient had focal epilepsy associated with cortical malformation including bilateral opercular dysplasia and the second one had cryptogenic temporal lobe epilepsy.
