CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

Epileptic seizures presenting as motor Epileptic seizures presenting as motor phenomena without concomitant conscious phenomena without concomitant conscious change may be confused with one the paroxymal change may be confused with one the paroxymal movement disorders. Conversely, the attack of movement disorders. Conversely, the attack of paroxymal movement disorders maybe thought paroxymal movement disorders maybe thought to be epileptic due to a number of factors, to be epileptic due to a number of factors, including its sudden, unpredictable, and transient including its sudden, unpredictable, and transient nature, its responsie to anti convulsants, and the nature, its responsie to anti convulsants, and the premonitary sensations preceding attacks. The premonitary sensations preceding attacks. The distinction between epilepsy and movement distinction between epilepsy and movement disorders is further confused by the reports that disorders is further confused by the reports that these two conditions frequently occur in the same these two conditions frequently occur in the same families or even in the same patients. Recent--families or even in the same patients. Recent--

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

--studies shows that a few epilepsy and --studies shows that a few epilepsy and paroxymal movement disorders are paroxymal movement disorders are “channelopathies” , indicating that they “channelopathies” , indicating that they may share some common pathophysiology may share some common pathophysiology and a possible “over lap”.
