ABSTRACT
Seizures triggered by sensory stimulation are termed [reflex epileptic seizures]. Since the nerve structures responsible for seizures are situated between the sensory afferent pathway and the efferent tract responsible for epilepsy, thus acting as a reflex centre. The concept of reflex epilepsy was widespread in the 19[th] century, when it was considered that among the major causes of epilepsy was chronic sensory stimulation e.g. teething, intestinal worms, refractive error, or chronic constipation
