RESUMO
Reading epilepsy usually presents with jaw myoclonus and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. We report a 12-year-old girl with absence seizures induced by reading, which were diagnosed by video EEG. An absence seizure with generalized 3-Hz spike-and-wave discharge occurred within 30 seconds of each reading session. Treatment with valproate caused complete seizure control, with therapy successfully discontinued after 2 years.
