Flicker Illness: An Underrecognized but Preventable Complication of Helicopter Transport

A case report of seizure due to photic stimulation from sunlight shining through spinning helicopter rotor blades is discussed. A review of photosensitive epilepsy is provided with particular emphasis on the effects and frequencies of photic stimulation required to induce symptoms. The frequencies of flashing light produced by spinning helicopter rotor blades commonly used in air medical transport range from 24 to 27 flashes per second. These frequencies are well within the range reported in the literature to produce symptoms in the laboratory setting. The literature provides only a few case reports of individuals sustaining a seizure after photic stimulation from spinning turboprop or helicopter blades. Symptoms range from mild discomfort and headache to profound spatial disorientation and seizures and may be an underrecognized but preventable complication of air medical transport.

A curious case is reported in which the patient, a young woman, exhibited convulsive seizures when approaching closely to a television. The visual and acoustic stimulation did not change her EEG, whereas simultaneous stimulation with both the modalities induced bilateral and symmetrical high-voltage spikes (with their diffusion) that led to a convulsive seizure. Results are discussed with relation to the literature.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
