This review highlights our understanding of episodic phenomena in children and adolescents that resemble epileptic seizures. Although the initial focus is on psychogenically determined nonepileptic seizures (NES; pseudoseizures), other forms of conversion symptoms are also discussed. We subsequently examine the diverse nonpsychogenic, nonepileptic paroxysmal disorders that may be encountered in this age group.
