Epilepsia inducida por música / Musicogenic epilepsy induction

RESUMO

Musicogenic epilepsy is a rare entity. It used to be considered a form of auditory evoked epilepsy. However, the theme of the music as the trigger of a partical complex seizure and likely, the memory components while listening to the music, suggest that this seizure disorder, might well be a disorder of a higher cognitive function. Therefore, it could be included within the affective epilepsy group. The case report we present in this paper, confirms the diagnosis of musicogenic epilepsy and the role of brain spect in reaching that diagnosis
