Non epileptic paroxysmal events: case reports and review of the literature

Abstract

<p>Non-epileptic events are similar to epileptic seizures in appearance but do not have the same characteristic changes in brain activity. Nonepileptic events are common in children, and may be difficult to distinguish from epileptic events. In most instances, the clinical history and an agebased approach leads to the diagnosis, and ancillary testing serves as confirmation. A failure to identify this disorder may lead to certain risks for the patient including anticonvulsant toxicity, and a lack of recognition or neglect of any underlying psychological distress.</p>
