| Description | A varied group of non-epileptic seizures forming frequent differential diagnosis of epileptic paroxysms occurs in childhood and adolescence. In children these are especially somatic non-epileptic seizures while psychogenic conditioned non-epileptic seizures appear gradually and may also prevail in preadolescence and adolescence. The report has summed up the most important entities in infant and young children emphasizing thein clinical picture and usual age incidence. The author has not dealt intentionally with the problems of syncopes and paroxysmal extrapyramidal conditions. Out of the paroxysmal sleep disorders imitating epileptic seizures only those occurring in children have been mentioned. The goal is to improve the knowledge of neurologists who meet in their practice these problems most frequently. |
