The Role of Comorbidity in the Development of Affective Respiratory Paroxysms in Children

Non-epileptic paroxysmal states (NEPS) are clinical disorders that usually occur suddenly, short—term brain dysfunction for various reasons with a general non-epileptic character. Non-epileptic paroxysmal states are more common than epileptic ones. NEPS can be confused with epileptic seizures. These states manifest themselves through trembling, stereotypical movements in wakefulness, or difficult-to-explain states in sleep. These phenomena are difficult to diagnose unambiguously as normal, pathological or adaptive. These conditions are currently defined as paroxysms (Paroxysm, (special and book). Sudden and severe attack (illness, feelings). (Explanatory dictionary edited by S.I.Ojegova and N.Yu.Shvedova).
