Abstract
- We report a young man with congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome (CBPS), who showed eating reflex seizures (ERS). His ERS were related to the taste of foods. The subtracted ictal SPECT co-registered to MRI (SISCOM) revealed the hyperperfusion in the insula as well as the subcortical nuclei and brainstem. The ERS in CBPS may be partially related with the taste function of the insula and SISCOM may be helpful for the localization of the epileptogenic foci in ERS.
