Abstract

A five month old infant is reported with Eating Epilepsy (feeding epilepsy/feeding related epilepsy). This is an uncommon type of reflex epilepsy in children, and should be considered if the history and investigations for gastro esophageal reflux and apparent life threatening event are negative. A clear stepwise history helps in diagnosis.
