ICD-11 code : 8A61.40;
Preferred Label : Reflex epilepsies;
ICD-11 definition : Reflex epilepsies are rare epileptic syndromes with seizures induced by specific triggering
factors (either by visual, auditory, somato-sensitive or somato-motor stimulation,
or by higher cortical function activities). Photosensitive epilepsies are the most
frequent form. Spontaneous seizures may also occur. 'Reflex seizures'' can be classified
into a simple 'pure'' reflex epilepsy and a complex group. The former comprises seizure
triggered by simple sensory stimuli or by movements (photosensitive epilepsies). The
latter are triggered by complex mental and emotional processes (verbal and non-verbal
epilepsies).;
