[Diagnosis and treatment of associated epilepsy and psychogenic pesudoepileptic seizures: case report].

Abstract:

:We report on a case of a 26 year old patient with seizures since the age of 13, who was sent to our service for differential diagnosis between epilepsy and psychogenic pesudoepileptic seizures. Both diagnoses were confirmed and she was operated for the resection of an occipital cystic tumour, that was considered responsible for her epileptic seizures, which remitted after surgery. Her psychogenic pseudoepileptic seizures persisted, but, after 4 months of a comprehensive psychological treatment, including behavioural therapy and family orientation remission set in. The authors stress the need for multiple diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and the participation of a specialised multidisciplinary team.
