[Convulsion-conversion epilepsy--a problem in differential diagnosis].
Epilepsy is chronic, multietiologic disease of the cerebrum, with different clinical features and with frequent occurrence of emotional and psychic disorders. In this report, we presented the case of female patient, 16 years old, examined in our Clinic twice. The diagnosis of epilepsy was established on the basis of the following examinations (EEG, Holter EEG, MR of the head) and Carbamazepine was included in the therapy. Afterwards, in the patient, instead of grand mal seizures, occurred atypical nonconvulsive prolonged seizures, without postictal phenomena, and after the repeated observation, psychological confrontation and according to the bizarreness of certain seizures the case of conversional-convulsive epilepsy was confirmed, and for that reason we decided to publish this report.
