Paroxysmal non epileptic events (PNEE) are common in children, and can be difficult to distinguish from epileptic seizures (ES). PNEE may be categorized as either psychogenic, most common in adolescence, or physiologic. We have considered 6 cases, misdiagnosed as ES. The valutation of the clinical data, EEG (+/- VIDEO) recordings and psychological profile, have permitted to make diagnosis of PNEE in 4 children and ES+PNEE in 2 and to stop the anti-epileptic treatment in 3:4.

Abstract

Paroxysmal non epileptic events (PNEE) are common in children, and can be difficult to distinguish from epileptic seizures (ES). PNEE may be categorized as either psychogenic, most common in adolescence, or physiologic. We have considered 6 cases, misdiagnosed as ES. The valutation of the clinical data, EEG (+/- VIDEO) recordings and psychological profile, have permitted to make diagnosis of PNEE in 4 children and ES+PNEE in 2 and to stop the anti-epileptic treatment in 3:4.
