a Girl's Reaction After a Gang Rape Posted: 11-23-06 08:57am
I put it into the epilepsy forum as well
(sigh, don't know if this topic will be
deleted by the administrator, hope not...)
this is a sad, cruel yet intriguing (at
least to me as a student) medical case.
I'd really appreciate it if any doctor can
tell me why...
Dear dr
i am a medical student and recently one of
my friends asked me a question about
seizures that I can't explain. He later
showed me where this question was from.
It was from a short porn video that he
watched. I watched it later and found
this video quite disturbing. I will just
briefly describe the girl's symptoms here
and hope you can explain why she had such
reactions.
Age: looked like in her early twenties
race: asian (japanese)
raped by 4-5 men in a row, she had been
crying and seemed to be in pain for all
the time. When the 5th men was sexually
assaulting her, she appeared quiet, eyes
closed, seemed unconscious already. A
few seconds later, she threw up white
froth(more strictly speaking, white thick
fluids got out of her mouth) during when
she still looked unconscious; then she
started to have seizures, by that time
that man has left her body.
I have searched the internet regarding
symptoms that victims may have after being
raped, but none of the sites mentioned
seizures and white sputum. I would
really like to find out why and if this
indicates something more serious ( death)
although this is just a girl in japan whom
I don't really know, I deeply hope she is
healthy and well now.

I m just thinking
could it b simply because she has epilepsy
and this traumatic event triggered the
attack? Or can this torture cause seizure
itself without the person having epilepsy
or any neurological disorder in the first
place? If so, possibly by what
mechanism?
It would be a way that the body uses to
try to protect itself, since by
overexcitin all the neurons and triggering
this seizure, it effectively scared all
men away and brought this torture to a
stop.
I don't think a seizure reaction of rape
victims is something that is much recorded
in the medical literature, but doesn't
mean it doesn't happen, probably it just
goes underreported due to a whole range of
factors.
