title: [Epilepsy and videogame: which physiopathological mechanisms to expect?].
abstract: Video games may induce epileptic seizures in some subjects. Most of them have photosensitive epilepsy. The triggering factors are multiple: characteristics of the softwares, effects of the electronic screen and interactivity. The wide diffusion of the video games explain the large number of descriptions of videogame induced seizures. Historical aspects and an analysis of the underlying mechanisms of videogame induced seizures are presented.
