Pseudoseizures should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intractable seizures. Incorrect diagnosis may result in incorrect management, with the patient unnecessarily exposed to side effects of drugs. The authors report on three patients who presented with uncontrolled seizures originally diagnosed and managed as status epilepticus. Electroencephalography performed during provoked attacks led to a diagnosis of pseudoseizures. Psychiatric assessment revealed psychologic disorders. The patients received supportive therapy, and the pseudoseizures stopped.
在难治性癫痫的鉴别诊断中应考虑假性癫痫发作。误诊可能导致治疗不当,使患者不必要地暴露于药物副作用之下。作者报告了三名最初被诊断为癫痫持续状态并接受治疗但癫痫发作未得到控制的患者。在诱发发作期间进行的脑电图检查确诊为假性癫痫发作。精神科评估发现了心理障碍。这些患者接受了支持性治疗,假性癫痫发作停止。
