Abstract
This case report describes a rare instance of reflex seizures in a 4-year-old boy with a complex medical history, including total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and developmental disabilities. The patient experienced seizures triggered exclusively by a specific visual stimulus: the transition scene from the Disney castle to the Pixar lamp in Disney-Pixar movies. Video electroencephalography (EEG) revealed biparasagittal rhythmic delta waves and diffuse slowing, suggesting parietal involvement and complex cortical processing. The findings highlight the individualized nature of reflex epilepsy and highlight the need for a nuanced understanding of specific seizure triggers. Effective management included avoiding the identified visual stimulus and adjusting medication based on the patient's response. This case emphasizes the intricate relationship between sensory processing and epileptogenic mechanisms, contributing to our knowledge of cortical excitability and guiding targeted treatment strategies for reflex seizures.
