✦ Synopsis

pathological surprise reaction," which is characterized by a vertex spike and subsequent generalized desynchronization of the cortical rhythms 12). The preservation of consciousness during the attacks and the close relationship with a sensory stimulus differentiate this from petit ma1 absences and myoclonic epilepsy 11, 21. Our patient is unusual, however, both because of the myoclonic nature of her startleinduced seizures and because a fourth stimulus, emotional tension, could also trigger these seizures. This stimulus has been observed to elicit the pathological surprise reaction . We confirm the effectiveness of valproic acid in the treatment of startle epilepsy [4).
