ICD-11 8A61.40 — Reflex epilepsies

Reflex epilepsies are rare epileptic syndromes with seizures induced by specific triggering factors (either by visual, auditory, somato-sensitive or somato-motor stimulation, or by higher cortical function activities). Photosensitive epilepsies are the most frequent form. Spontaneous seizures may also occur. 'Reflex seizures'' can be classified into a simple 'pure'' reflex epilepsy and a complex group. The former comprises seizure triggered by simple sensory stimuli or by movements (photosensitive epilepsies). The latter are triggered by complex mental and emotional processes (verbal and non-verbal epilepsies).
