title: Sexology of ictal masturbation in infancy.
abstract: In 1952, under the title of "Masturbation in Infants," Bakwin reported three cases of females all younger than one year of age. Bakwin's type of so-called masturbation has been considered in the differential diagnosis of epilepsy in several papers published since 1975. The cases reported display a great similarity and underscore an ictal explanation of the syndrome.
