All clinical parameters, EEG, and video\u2010EEG data were assessed during the long\u2010term follow\u2010up. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 10.0 software.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> Nine female and two male patients with a mean age at onset of 14 \u00b1 5.9 years (range, 7\u201327 years) and with a mean follow\u2010up of 9 \u00b1 7.56 years had photosensitive TASs. They constituted 7.64% of absence epilepsies and 0.4% of all patients seen in our tertiary center. The seizures were usually subtle and had a reported frequency of 1 to 9 times daily. Seven patients were clinically photosensitive and reported that some of their TASs were induced by photic stimuli in daily life. All patients also had spontaneous TASs, and four of them had generalized tonic\u2013clonic seizures. EEG results did not show any distinctive features when compared with those of other cases with TASs. Remission could not be achieved in five patients with antiepileptic drug treatments, and we always observed relapses after drug discontinuation or dose reduction in the remaining six cases in remission. Spontaneous remission did not occur even in the five patients older than 30 years.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> TASs triggered by photosensitivity are a rare and heterogeneous clinical condition with a marked female preponderance. It is notable that TASs do not remit in these cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0013-9580.2005.67303.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,11]],"date-time":"2005-01-11T10:11:23Z","timestamp":1105438283000},"page":"159-163","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Typical Absence Seizures Triggered by Photosensitivity"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Bet\u00fcl","family":"Baykan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeliha","family":"Matur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Candan","family":"G\u00fcrses","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ebru","family":"Aykutlu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ay\u015fen","family":"G\u00f6kyi\u011fit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.61.5.471"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.55.11.1002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/1059-1311(92)90038-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1981.tb06159.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1997.tb01467.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"369","volume-title":"Epileptic syndromes in infancy, childhood and adolescence","author":"Kasteleijn\u2010Nolst Trenit\u00e9 DGA","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/98.3.427"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","first-page":"87","volume-title":"Idiopathic generalised epilepsies: clinical, experimental and genetic aspects","author":"Hirsch E","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.49.12.1386"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","first-page":"3","article-title":"Photosensitivity in epilepsy: electrophysiological and clinical correlates","volume":"125","author":"Kasteleijn\u2010Nolst Trenite DGA","year":"1989","journal-title":"Acta Neurol Scand Suppl"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0028-1091737"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","first-page":"355","volume-title":"Childhood epilepsy","author":"Panayiotopoulos CP","year":"1996"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.56.12.1312"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1997.tb01235.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1528-1157.2001.30600.x"}],"container-title":["Epilepsia"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.0013-9580.2005.67303.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.0013-9580.2005.67303.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,15]],"date-time":"2023-10-15T16:56:17Z","timestamp":1697388977000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.0013-9580.2005.67303.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,1]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2005,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.0013-9580.2005.67303.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.0013-9580.2005.67303.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0013-9580","1528-1167"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0013-9580","type":"print"},{"value":"1528-1167","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,1]]}}}
