gastrointestinal complaints and central nervous system involvement, mainly confusion, fatigue, headache, dizziness, syncope, and lethargy resulting during the abdominal seizure activity. Chronic vomitting or other gastrointestinal symptoms often lead to fluid and nutritional deficiencies which resulted in malnutrition. To date, there was no study has been reported on abdominal epilepsy in Indonesia. Case Presentation: We presented a case of two-year-old girl with chief complaint of recurrent profuse vomiting every month for the past year. Patient complained of headaches and abdominal pain and tended to sleep all day during relapse. Physical examination showed sunken eyes and decreased skin turgor. EEG showed abnormal results, diffuse irritative, epileptiform with normal basic rhythm. Esophageal polyps were also found on endoscopy. Patient was given anti-epileptic drugs and histamine H2 receptor antagonists and responded well to those therapies. Conclusion: Abdominal epilepsy is a rare case which may resulted in vomiting and abdominal pain in children. EEG examination is an important test for diagnosing abdominal epilepsy. Treatment with anti-epileptic drugs is known to respond well in this case.

Introduction: Abdominal epilepsy is a rare neurological condition characterized by episodic abdominal pain, often accompanied by epileptic or gastrointestinal symptoms. It remains underdiagnosed due to its atypical presentation and the lack of awareness among healthcare professionals. Case report: The subject of this report is a 23-year-old male with a protracted history of episodic, severe abdominal pain. The pain episodes, characterized by their severity and abrupt onset, were frequently accompanied by vertigo and debilitating headaches, which significantly impacted his quality of life. Despite numerous consultations with various specialists, a definitive diagnosis remained elusive for many years. Discussion: A comprehensive literature review is conducted to gather data on the historical evolution, recent advancements, and management recommendations for abdominal epilepsy. Medical databases are consulted to identify relevant studies, clinical cases, and recent reviews in this field. The discussion explores the clinical implications of the results, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and managing abdominal epilepsy. Conclusion: Diagnostic challenges, therapeutic options, and future perspectives are discussed in detail, highlighting the need for increased awareness of this condition and further research to improve outcomes for patients. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can significantly enhance patient quality of life, underscoring the importance of education and research in this domain.
