Abstract:
Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are often associated with a history of mild traumatic brain injury, which may require differentiation with posttraumatic epilepsy, but usually there is a sufficiently long interval between an episode of trauma and their manifestations. Herein we report a case of a young female judo wrestler who experienced PNES immediately after minor head injury sustained during sport contest. It can be speculated that pathophysiological background of PNES in athletes may differ from general population and that disease in such cases may be related to stress of competition and fear to lose it. Early application of the video-electroencephalographic monitoring allows for timely diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment of PNES. J. Med. Invest. 73 : 265-269, February, 2026.

Seizures l: Introduction
Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
