Abstract:
Reading epilepsy (RE) is a rare reflex epilepsy syndrome in which seizures are triggered by language-related activities, especially reading. Since it has been firstly discovered by American scholar Bickford in 1954, scholars from all over the world have successively discovered and reported this syndrome, and have conducted all-round and multi-dimensional research on its precipitating factors, semiology, subtypes, and pathophysiological mechanisms. This article reviews the research progress on reading epilepsy in recent years to improve the clinician's understanding and diagnostic ability.
