Sensory seizure mimicking a psychogenic seizure

Ronald P. Lesser, MD, Hans Lueders, MD, John P. Conomy, MD, Anthony J. Furlan, MD and Dudley S. Dinner, MD

Department of Neurology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH.

A patient had episodes of bilateral paresthesias with retained consciousness. The attacks were clinically considered to be psychogenic seizures. Electroencephalography indicated that the attacks were epileptic, perhaps originating from the second sensory area. Electroencephalographic recording of a seizure is essential in differentiating epileptic from psychogenic episodes.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Lesser, Department of Neurology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, 9500 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44106.

Presented in part at the thirty-third annual meeting of the Central Association of Electroencephalographers, Madison, WI, April 1981.

Accepted for publication October 7, 1982.
