- Abstract
- In Patients subject to convulsions the attacks occur sporadically, and the factors reponsible for
precipitation of a seizure at any given time are usually unknown. In a small number of patients certain
sensory stimuli may consistently initiate an attack. The sensory modality involved varies in different
patients: however, the entire group has been referred to by the term 'reflex epilepsy.' In certain rare
instances, listening to music produces seizures and this subdivision of reflex epilepsy has been called
"musicogenic epilepsy". By the Critchley, in 1937, several particular types of musical stimuli were
reported, but frequency of such stmuli was much rare and there has been no report yet in Korea.
This 40 years old fernale patient revealed a ternporal lobe seizure, which appeared whenever listened
to old korean popular songs. The etiology was not known and the response to anti-epileptic drugs was
good.
