“…Valproate is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for photosensitive epilepsies (Covanis et al, 2004; Koepp et al, 2016), though ethosuximide, benzodiazepines, lamotrigine, and more recently levetiracetam have also proven effective in eliminating the photoparoxysmal response on EEG and stopping seizures (Striano et al, 2008). In contrast to other photosensitive seizures, self-induced seizures are extremely refractory to treatment (Andermann et al, 1962; Covanis et al, 2004; Hutchison et al, 1958; Ng, 2002), even when patients are compliant with medication. Covanis et al (2004) note that while 75% of patients with Jeavons Syndrome respond to valproate monotherapy, only 40% of patients with self-induced seizures respond to this treatment.…”

“…We also asked about the type of programme which was being shown, the size of the screen, and what other sources of illumination were present in the room, but none of these factors appeared to be relevant. No child had a compulsive tendency to produce fits by waving his hand in front of his eyes (Hutchison, Stone and Davidson, 1958).…”

MEASURING CO IN RESPIRED GASESPco2 are discussed. The most important practical conclusion is that the volume of gas in the bag should not be more than twice the tidal volume; but the exact ratio is not critical.Suitable equipment is described. Practical problems and variations in technique are described in detail.We are grateful to the many people who have told us of their experience and difficulties, and particularly to those who have suggested modifications and improvements.

“…Self-induced epilepsy is notoriously resistant to therapy [7, 9, 53, 61, 62]. This may in part be due to patients’ reluctance to take medication, but even compliant patients appear refractory to antiepileptic drugs.…”

It is difficult to determine from published papers just what level of clinical difficulty self-induction of seizures actually posed to the patients and clinicians. In some cases there is contradictory evidence as to the degree of willfulness or self-induction. Self-induced epileptic seizures may be an important aspect of poor seizure control in a subgroup of epilepsy sufferers. These seizures might be modifiable by psychiatric intervention or behavioural modification.
