Non-restraining EEG Radiotelemetry: Epidural and Deep Intracerebral Stereotaxic EEG Electrode Placement
Published on: June 25, 2016
Abstract:
The history of hysteria, with special reference to pseudoseizures, is reviewed. The distinguishing features between nonepileptic and epileptic convulsions are then considered, prior to discussion of management and prognosis. The various psychopathologies associated with the diagnosis are noted, as are psychiatric conditions that may be confused with epilepsy. It is concluded that pseudoseizures represent a complex clinical problem, often requiring multidisciplinary evaluation, that can be rewarding to diagnose and treat.
