What causes the seizsures when he need to do a BM??Dolores Hop YYYY@YYYY Doctor: Hello,  That his symptoms could be related to reflex epilepsy related to BM. There is not too much to be done in this clinical situation, as he has tried VNS too. I would also recommend discussing with his doctor on the possibility of starting levetiracetam.
