Diaper changing-induced reflex seizures in CDKL5-related epilepsy Volume 20, numéro 5, October 2018

Video recording of a seizure during diaper changing (same event as in figure 2): while the mother is cleaning the perianal region, the baby changes her facial expression and then starts to present with a series of spasms involving all four limbs. The first spasms coincide with a tonic-vibratory contraction and the following spasms then manifest as a predominant bending of the lower limbs. From second 15 to 19, a series ofmyoclonic jerks involving the right limbs is evident, mainly of the upper limb, during its slow adduction.
