Abstract
Although epilepsy remains an unsolved medical problem, there is a type of epilepsy known as 'photosensitive epilepsy' described in the medical literature that could serve as the window to understanding the pathophysiology of all epilepsies. Photosensitive epilepsy is a seizure phenomenon caused by exposure to bright and/or flickering light. This type of epilepsy has been estimated to occur in one of every 10,000 people. The nurse's role in this pathological state includes meticulous notations of seizure activity, adverse medication reactions, and psychological assessment of the photosensitive epileptic client.
