Psychogenic seizures.
Psychogenic seizures are nonepileptic events that are varied in their clinical presentations. These events can be psychiatric or physiologic in their origin and can occur concomitantly in patients with epileptic seizure disorders. The diagnosis often requires laboratory and electrophysiologic investigation; however, historical, clinical, and laboratory findings can aid in making the diagnosis.
