Mayo Clin Proc. 1979 Feb;54(2):83-7.
Eighteen patients ranging in age from 4 to 20 years who were seen at the Mayo Clinic from 1970 through 1976 for suspected epilepsy were studied. Seventeen of these patients had previously been treated with anticonvulsant medication, and the majority had been subjected to multiple diagnostic procedures. After careful analysis of their histories, clinical examinations, and appropriate laboratory studies, their seizures appeared to be nonepileptic in nature. Various psychogenic and other nonorganic causes were identified. These cases are presented to alert the physician to the not infrequent occurrence of pseudoepileptic seizures in children and adolescents who do not have epilepsy.
对1970年至1976年间在梅奥诊所就诊的18名年龄在4岁至20岁之间、疑似患有癫痫的患者进行了研究。这些患者中有17名此前曾接受过抗惊厥药物治疗，且大多数都接受过多种诊断程序。在对他们的病史、临床检查和适当的实验室研究进行仔细分析后，发现他们的癫痫发作本质上并非癫痫性的。确定了各种心理因素和其他非器质性原因。呈现这些病例是为了提醒医生，在没有癫痫的儿童和青少年中，假性癫痫发作并非罕见。
