Abstract
Seizures and epilepsy are relatively common disorders in childhood1. Seizures are characterized by the occurrence of paroxysmal motor, sensory, autonomic and/ or psychic symptoms. Epilepsy is defi ned as the occurrence of two or more unprovoked epileptic seizures. There are also several other conditions in childhood that can manifest with periodically occurring paroxysmal events2-4. It is important to distinguish these non-epileptic paroxysmal events from epileptic seizures. This can be challenging as they may partially share the same clinical manifestations.
