AB  - Eating-induced seizures are an uncommon presentation of reflex epilepsy, a 
      condition characterized by seizures provoked by specific stimuli. Most reports 
      have identified aetiology associated with malformations of cortical 
      developmental, hypoxic brain injury, previous meningoencephalitis or static 
      encephalopathy. We present a patient with eating-induced reflex seizures, which 
      began several years after treatment for an opercular primitive neuroectodermal 
      tumour (PNET), and who subsequently underwent in-depth clinical and video-EEG 
      analysis for her seizures. This patient noted rapid improvement with decreased 
      frequency of seizure activity after treatment with valproic acid. We discuss the 
      aetiology of reflex epilepsy, the anatomical basis of eating-induced epilepsy, 
      and review the current literature.
