An 11-year-old girl presented short ictal manifestations consisting of alteration of consciousness and masturbatory automatisms. The EEG showed a photoparoxysmal response (commonly found in primary generalized epilepsies) unusually elaborate, being accompanied by alteration of consciousness, myoclonic jerks, autonomic and affective modifications and motor automatisms directed on the genitalia. To our knowledge, our report of such ictal manifestations in primary generalized epilepsy is unique.
