title: Podiatric implications of psychogenic seizures.
abstract: Psychogenic seizures can mimic epileptic conditions and are often difficult to diagnose. The present study reviews one such unusual occurrence in a patient having a complex psychiatric history who required surgery for the removal of a ganglionic cyst in her foot. The differential diagnosis and treatment of psychogenic seizures is discussed.
