Sıcak su epilepsisi: bir vaka sunumu

Sıcak su epilepsisi (SSE); nadir görülen bir refleks epilepsi şekli olup, sıcak suyla banyo yaparken ortaya çıkar. Genellikle psikomotor gelişimleri normal olan çocuklarda görülür. SSE'nin patogenezi tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Bu tür vakalarda, kompleks parsiyel nöbet en sık karşılaşılan klinik tablodur. EEG kayıtlarında temporal lopta bazı epileptik odaklar bulunabilir ve bu durum, yapısal bir lezyonun olabileceğine işaret eder. Bu bildiride, sıcak su epilepsili bir vakayı sunmayı amaçladık.

Hot water epilepsy: a case report

Hot water epilepsy (HWE) is a rare form of reflex epilepsy, which occurs during hot water bath. It is generally seen in children with normal psychomotor development. The exact pathogenesis of HWE is not known. In such cases, complex partial seizure is the most common clinical manifestation. There may be some epileptic focuses in temporal lobe in EEG records and this suggests a possible structural lesion. In this report, we aimed to present a case with HWE.
