Does anyone have a link to the article on the documented case of a little girl in Ca. who only had seizures when she was placed in a warm bathtub? I know this sounds like a joke, but it did get written up, and I am curious to read the article itself.

thanks

I don't know this exact case, but seizures triggered by warm water are a well described type of reflex epilepsy. Go to Medline or Pubmed or some other such website and search under "reflex epilepsy" or "reflex seizures."

Was this case in the popular or medical literature? Here's an article on hot water epilepsy, but it's from a Turkish study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/..._uids=16698323&query_hl=4&itool=pubmed_docsum

It was written up in a journal by the treating neurologist, but I do not know the journal or docs name???
