Abstract
A case of hot water epilepsy is presented and the literature on the subject is reviewed. The data show that hot water epilepsy is a benign form of reflex epilepsy occurring mainly in children. Males are affected more than females. The triggering stimulus is immersion in hot water (over 37 degrees C). The seizure is usually psychomotor, although generalized convulsions may occur. The EEG findings indicate that the abnormality lies in the temporal lobe.
