Primary reading epilepsy belongs to a group of seizures precipitated by sensory input. A possible case of the disease is presented. The patient, a 30-year-old man, developed while reading several seizures emanating from the tongue, jaw, and throat followed by generalized convulsions. The seizures were not provoked by activities other than reading. The baseline EEG was normal with a minimum intermingled theta activity. Seizures could not be provoked by reading at the out-patient clinic. Accordingly, it was not possible to record abnormal EEG patterns that accompany the seizures. The CT scanning showed a slight temporal lobe atrophy, which was more prominent in the nondominant hemisphere. The occipital cortex showed no marked changes.
