Episodic symptoms mistaken for seizures in the neurologically impaired child

Jane F. Donat, MD and Francis S. Wright, MD

Department of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital, The Ohio State University School of Medicine, Columbus, OH.

We found neurologically impaired children studied by time-locked video-EEG to have episodes of abnormal behaviors which had been mistaken for epileptic seizures. Recognition that other neurologically abnormal phenomena can closely mimic epilepsy is important for prevention of erroneous diagnoses of epilepsy, and thus overtreatment, in this patient population.

Presented in part at the Cleveland Clinic International Epilepsy Symposium on Pediatric Epileptology, Cleveland, OH, May 1988.

Received January 19, 1989. Accepted for publication in final form June 21, 1989.
