“…EE may be idiopathic or related to symptomatic localization related epilepsies [1]. EE is described in association with congenital malformations, vascular abnormalities, post-infective lesions, and neoplasms such as astrocytoma and glioblastoma [1,[4][5][6][7]. Most studies related to EE are case reports or case series and previously published large series lack electro-clinical and imaging correlates [8,9].…”

Background: Seizures triggered by eating (STE) behavior are very rare in humans and have not been documented previously in dogs.Objectives: To document the occurrence of STE in dogs and describe their clinical features.Animals: Ten client-owned dogs with STE diagnosed at 5 European referral centers.Methods: A call for suspected cases of STE was made online. This call was followed by a retrospective review of medical records, combined with a questionnaire to be completed by both the owner and the board-certified neurologist who made the diagnosis. Cases were included if >50% of the seizures that occurred were related to eating and if a minimum diagnostic evaluation for seizures had been performed.Results: Four cases only had STE and 6 cases had both STE and spontaneous seizures. Four of the dogs were retrievers. The most common seizure type was focal epileptic seizures evolving to become generalized. Nine dogs were diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. One dog had a presumptive diagnosis of glioma involving the margins of the parietal, temporal, and frontal cortex (the perisylvian region), an area known to have a key role in eating-associated epilepsy in people. Treatment strategies included a combination of pharmacological management and eating habit changes. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: We have identified a form of reflex epilepsy in dogs, with STE behavior. Further studies are warranted to improve the characterization and management of STE.

“…11 Multiple case reports and case series have reported focal aetiologies like cortical malformation, 13,18 hypoxic brain damage, 12 meningoencephalitis 19 or space occupying lesions 6,9,20 involving temporal lobe 8,12,16,20 and perisylvian area. 6,9,19 Sometimes they may not have any structural lesions on neuroimaging 4,9 In our series majority of the patients had either MRI or EEG abnormality localizing to perisylvian region. Apart from these acquired causes, cases of defined genetic etiology in pediatric population with mutations in SYNGAP1 gene 21 and duplication of MECP2 gene 22 have been described.…”

Eating epilepsy is a rare form of reflex epilepsy where seizures are triggered by eating. We describe a case series of 12 such patients presenting to our epilepsy clinic based in North India. Eating epilepsy was noted to have male predominance with focal seizures with impaired awareness. Most of these patients had either temporal or perisylvian localization. Clobazam taken half an hour before meal was found to be an effective add-on therapy in its management. (2019;9:152-156
