Abstract
To present and discuss a case of a woman who for many years was presumed to have nonepileptic seizures (NES), but proved to actually have both electrical and non-electrical seizures, the latter occurring in a close temporal association with the former. To also discuss the seimiology her true as well as NES and compare to other cases identified from a literature review on this subject.
Closed-circuit video-EEG monitoring was performed in order to capture and subsequently analyse the patient’s events.
During video-EEG monitoring, she proved to have short electrical seizures followed by psychogenic elaborations. Her NES had obscured her true seizures for a number of years.
