Reflex Epilepsies

• Reflex epilepsies are a group of epilepsy syndromes in which a certain trigger or stimulus brings on seizures.
• 85% of reflex seizures are generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
• The most common form of reflex epilepsy is photosensitive epilepsy, in which flashing lights trigger seizures.
• The most effective way to prevent most reflex seizures is to avoid the stimulating trigger.
