Resumos

Relato de 5 casos de epilepsias reflexas apresentando traçados eletrencefalográficos ictais. As diversas formas clínicas e eletrencefalográficas encontradas nesses grupos de epilepsias são expostas. A fisiopatologia é analisada comparando os achados com os colhidos na literatura.

Five clinical cases of reflex epilepsy with the EEG records during the seizure are provided. A review of the clinical aspects and EEG characteristics of these epilepsies is made. Its physiopathology is discussed and the findings compared to those in the literature.
