  Sunday, 5th February 2006 Summary Photosensitive epilepsy is a form of epilepsy that is triggered by visual stimuli, such as flickering or high contrast oscillating patterns, and it's believed that around 3% to 5% of people with epilepsy are susceptible [juicystudio.com]

  Not the First Time Movies and TV Have Triggered Seizures Photosensitivity affects roughly 3 percent of those with epilepsy, and is more common in children and adolescents with generalized epilepsy or juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, the Epilepsy Foundation [everydayhealth.com]

  Also, try to recall any unusual symptoms that may have preceded the seizure, such as: Dizziness Blurred vision Muscle twitching If you notice these warning signs, cover one eye and turn your head from the stimuli immediately. [webmd.com]

  These signs could be things such as dizziness, blurred vision, loss of awareness or muscle twitching. If this happens, you should immediately stop them playing the game. [epilepsyqueensland.com.au]

  Peter Camfield, The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences Book Description Photosensitive epilepsy is a relatively rare condition in which convulsions are precipitated by visual stimuli. [amazon.com]

  Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. [support.xbox.com]

  If a seizure does occur because of PSE, in almost all cases, it will be a generalised tonic-clonic seizure (the person will become rigid and will then fall to the ground, where there will be jerking/convulsing of all four limbs). [irishhealth.com]

• Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure

  Rare generalized tonic-clonic seizures may occur following the absence or myoclonic seizure. When generalized tonic-clonic seizures occur, it is usually by accident. [epilepsy.com]

  The most common form of reflex epilepsy is visual sensitive or photosensitive epilepsy, in which flickering or flashing light provokes generalized tonic-clonic seizures. [aboutkidshealth.ca]

• Confusion

  These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. [support.xbox.com]

  When the seizure ends, the muscles relax and the person slowly regains consciousness.After the seizure, the person may: Be confused Feel tired Have memory loss for a short time Have a headache Feel sore Recovery time varies. [de.slideshare.net]

  This may last up to three minutes followed by mild confusion and a return to normal within minutes. In either case, the person is not aware of what happened during the seizure. [birket.com]
