Eating seizures associated with focal cortical dysplasia.
A 15-year-old boy in whom seizures were precipitated by drinking is described. Ictal EEG showed biparietal slow-wave discharges of greater amplitude over the right parietal lobe. Cerebral MRI disclosed right parieto-occipital cortical dysplasia. The mechanism which may be responsible for the seizures is briefly discussed.
