Psychogenic convulsions
These differ from organic convulsions in three ways:
- The patient remains conscious
- Movement is not regular and stereotyped as expected
- There is no incontinence, tongue biting or injury
If there is difficulty excluding temporal lobe, complex partial seizures then continuous EEG monitoring may be diagnostic.
