Abstract
In this paper, three more cases of eating-induced seizures are reported. We have obtained ictal video-electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings for two pa tients, which confirm the heterogeneity of ictal semiology of these seizure s. However, in all the cases the inclusion of this kind of reflex epilepsy (RE) among the localization-related epilepsies (LRE) is confirmed. The usef ulness of video EEG monitoring in studying these seizures and reflex epilep sy in general (RE) is stressed.
