AB Epilepsies  characterized  by  seizures  with  a  specific  mode  of  precipitation  occur  in  4%–7%  of  patients  with  epilepsy.1  More  general  factors  such  as  stress,  sleep  deprivation,  and  fatigue  may  contribute  to  the  exacerbation  of  seizures  in  up  to  62%  of  patients.2  Precipitants  may  be  divided  into  simple  and  complex:  simple  precipitants  include  elementary  sensory  stimuli  such  as  flickering  light,  color,  patterns,  somatosensory,  proprioceptive,  or  startle,  whereas  complex  precipitation  implies  relatively  elaborate  stimuli  such  as  music  and  other  complex  auditory  materials,  eating,  language,  thinking,  praxis,  and  experience/emotion.
