PSYCHOGENIC ELABORATION OF SIMPLE PARTIAL SEIZURES

Seizures that cause loss of consciousness (LOC) can be classified as e pileptic or nonepileptic based on evaluation of ictal semiology and an alysis of changes in EEG events, recorded with continuous scalp EEG an d video monitoring, We report 3 patients who had hippocampal electrogr aphic seizures documented with intracranial EEG recording with no acco mpanying scalp EEG change immediately preceding psychogenic unresponsi veness. Each patient also had complex partial seizures (CPS) originati ng in the hippocampus. Some individuals can have complex interactions of epileptic and nonepileptic seizures.
