Abdominal epilepsy is a condition characterized by unexplained paroxysms of gastrointestinal symptoms with concomitant abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG) findings and improvement with anticonvulsants. (1) We hereby present the case of a 22-year-old lady who came with complaints of recurrent episodes of vomiting with only occasional discomfort in abdomen during periods of emesis. She was ultimately diagnosed with abdominal epilepsy based on electroencephalogram (EEG) findings of spike-wave pattern noticed during symptomatic period, and normal electroencephalogram (EEG) during intervening symptom-free period. After treatment with anticonvulsants, she showed a complete remission of symptoms and follow-up electroencephalogram (EEG) was also found to be normal.
