Abstract:
Reflex epilepsy is a type of partial or generalized seizure induced by specific or nonspecific stimulation in individuals without a prior history of seizures. Mahjong epilepsy is a special form of complex reflex epilepsy induced by playing or watching mahjong, with a low incidence rate and complex pathogenesis. Due to the lack of comprehensive understanding, clinical studies of mahjong epilepsy are still mainly based on case reports. Now, we will analyze and summarize the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis, electroencephalogram, treatment, and prognosis of mahjong epilepsy to raise awareness of mahjong epilepsy among clinical medical workers.
