Abstract

A 10 year old girl with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes showed centrotemporal spikes induced by blinking even in a dark room. Spikes could not be induced by photic stimulation, eye closure, eye movement, eye deviation, or passive blinks. There have been no previous reports of spikes induced by blinks in benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes.
