A rare reflex epilepsy characterized by in most cases complex partial seizures triggered by different components of eating, such as the sight of food, proprioceptive, olfactory or gustatory sensations, chewing, salivation, and gastric distension after food intake. The seizures may be idiopathic or associated with symptomatic localization-related epilepsies.
Estimated prevalence: 1-9 in 1,000,000 (Rare).
No clinical trials have been registered for eating seizures.
11 publications have been identified in PubMed for eating seizures. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (45%), Basic Science / Preclinical (18%), and Epidemiology / Natural History (18%).
