Psychiatric presentations of seizure disorders
J Lawall
Seizure disorders may present with signs and symptoms that are usually
associated with psychiatric disorders. Physicians must be alert to this
possibility; they should use careful history taking in conjunction with
EEGs to avoid misdiagnosing certain cases of psychomotor, petit male, and
grand mal epilepsy.
