music trigger woman seizures

Gayle was twenty one when she start having seizures,years later she realised that her seizures were related to the music she listened to,she remembered being at a barbecue and collapsing when sean paul music,--TEMPERATURE--was playing,she also recall having an earlier seizure while she was listening to sean pauls music.
Doctors didn't believe that a particular song could induce a seizure but miss gayle prove it was possible,at the comprehensive epilepsy center at long island jewish medical center, miss gayle had a video eeg-a medical test measuring electrical activity produced by the brain. The video show miss gayle having three seizures shortly after listening to sean paul on her ipod.
Doctors conclude that the cause of miss gayle seizures was a rare condition called musicogenic epilepsy in which seizures are actually induced by music.
Acording to the hospital there are only five cases known worldwide.
During the first surgery, doctors implant more than one hundred electrodes in the right side of her brain, to pinpoint the abnormal part.
The surgeons follow that with a second surgery,removing the electrodes and the part of the brain they suspect was causing the seizures.
Miss gayle was seizure free three months later.
