ABSTRACT

Summary Peri-ictal water drinking has been defined as the action of drinking during or within 2 minutes of a seizure. It can be seen in childhood or adulthood epilepsy. It is usually seen in adults with temporal lobe epilepsy. Peri-ictal water drinking is a rare vegetative symptom and has clinical significance in terms of being a lateralizing sign for the non-dominant hemisphere.
