Physiological factors in childhood epilepsy.

abstract：PURPOSE:To clarify the differences between postictal mania (PIM) and postictal psychosis (PIP). METHODS:Five patients with PIM were compared to 17 patients with PIP, with respect to clinical, epileptological, electrophysiological, and neuroimaging features. PIM was distinguished from PIP by the symptoms observed in th...
