Photosensitive is probably caused by multiple factors including gender, familiar, etc. We aim to study the clinical and EEG features of Chinese Han patients with photosensitivity. A total of 5482 consecutive patients with possible epilepsy from 3 center in China. Of the 73 patients with PPR to IPS, 48 were female. 69.9% patients were evoked by frequency ranged 8 Hz-25 Hz, with accompanying seizures in 13 patients. 6 of 9 patients with eyes closure sensitivity experienced epileptic seizures during IPS. We found some new features: 1) The patients with eyes closure sensitivity apt to experience electro-clinical seizures provoked by IPS; 2) Female epilepsy patients with PPR and ECS maybe difficult to be seizure free. Preventive measures for related seizures should be performed to the patients with generalized PPR, upper threshold evoking frequency, and eyes closure sensitivity when they received the IPS.
