Graphogenic Reflex Epilepsy: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Lindsay M Joslyn
Published in: The Neurodiagnostic journal (2024)
Graphogenic, or writing epilepsy, is a rare type of reflex epilepsy (RE) in which seizures are provoked by the act of writing. RE is a condition that affects between 4% and 7% of all patients diagnosed with epilepsy. In this case study, we provide a case report on a patient whose seizures were generated by the act of writing. We also present evidence that the cortical mechanisms by which writing-induced seizures occur are focal with possible secondary generalization.
