False diagnosis of epilepsy in children

J Gibbs et al. Seizure. 1992 Mar.

Abstract

Epilepsy is frequently diagnosed incorrectly through a failure to obtain an adequate history and placing inappropriate emphasis on the electroencephalogram (EEG). We describe four children with common, nonepileptic events who were diagnosed initially as having epilepsy.
