Abstract

High prevalence of eating epilepsy has previously been reported from the Central Province of Sri Lanka, though it is considered to be a rare condition in the rest of the world. We prospectively studied 526 patients in a different province for seizure provoking factors. Eating epilepsy was found among 28 patients (5.3%) supporting previous observations.
