Reflex seizures as initial manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus in childhood

M Brinciotti et al. Lupus. 1993 Aug.

Abstract

We report a 10-year-old girl with reflex seizures characterized by visual and acoustic hallucinations, induced by visual and acoustic stimulations. The EEG showed atypical spike-wave discharges on the left temporo-occipital area, markedly activated by visual and acoustic stimuli (intermittent light, pattern-reversal stimulation and monoaural right pure tone). The patient was treated with carbamazepine and seizure stopped within 7 months. After 10 months from the start of the therapy she developed signs of systemic lupus erythematosus.
