Abstract

Geographically specific epilepsy syndromes are of epidemiologic interest and may assist in understanding the pathogenic mechanism of epilepsy in general. Some may have a genetic basis with added environmental influence. Among these epilepsy syndromes in India is an interesting type of reflex seizure known as hot-water epilepsy (HWE) and single small computed tomography (CT)-enhancing lesions (SSCTLs).
