Sensory seizure mimicking a psychogenic seizure

R P Lesser et al. Neurology. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

A patient had episodes of bilateral paresthesias with retained consciousness. The attacks were clinically considered to be psychogenic seizures. Electroencephalography indicated that the attacks were epileptic, perhaps originating from the second sensory area. Electroencephalographic recording of a seizure is essential in differentiating epileptic from psychogenic episodes.
