摘要：
BackgroundReflex seizures (RS) induced by micturition are extremely rare, and the clinical and electroencephalogram features of RS are not widely known among clinicians. In particular, the origin of the epileptic area is still unclear.Case presentationAn 8-year-old girl who had generalized tonic-clonic seizures was diagnosed with RS induced by micturition based on the clinical manifestation and EEG recordings. We also reviewed the clinical and EEG characteristics of RS induced by micturition in literature by searching the databases of PubMed and MEDLINE using keywords "micturition reflex seizure", "reflex seizure induced by micturition", and "micturition induced seizure" by January 2022. We speculate that the mechanism of micturition-induced RS may involve excessive neuronal excitation in regions that participate in micturition.ConclusionsThe RS in this patient was considered to be induced by micturition. Awareness should be raised to this rare form of RS among practitioners.
