Özet

Objectives: There is a gap of knowledge regarding reflex seizures in patients with focal epilepsy of unknown cause (FEUC). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, demographic and clinical characteristics of reflex seizures in patients with FEUC to provide an insight to the underlying ictogenic mechanisms and to draw attention to this important but under-investigated topic.
