[Psychogenic pseudoseizures as psychoneurological problem].

The complexity of the problem is associated with the lack of reliable differential diagnostic indications for distinguishing epileptic and pseudo-epileptic seizures, as well as with the risk of provoking seizures during psychological sessions in patients with PPS. Therefore, apparently, only one of the Russian-language monographs that were published in recent years and one of the 1999 neurology guidelines pay attention to this problem. We have shown the nosological heterogeneity of patients with PPS, clinical particularities related to it and the need for a differentiated approach to its therapy.

[Towards the problem of disintegration and integration of medical disciplines on the example of a case report].

Authors present a case of a female patient with organic brain lesion, personality and behavioral disorder, pseudoepileptic seizures. Correct diagnosis and effective treatment became possible due to the mutual efforts of a neurologist and a psychiatrist. This example confirms the importance of clinical neurology and psychiatry integration.
