N2  - Previous sexual abuse is now thought to be a common cause of non-epileptic seizures (pseudoseizures). However, since sexual abuse is common, a previous history of sexual abuse may also occur in people with actual epilepsy. We present six patients in all of whom sexual abuse may, by acting as a stressor in the already predisposed, have precipitated epilepsy and in some of whom the abuse may have affected the actual experiences of the epilepsy itself: all but one of the patients had partial seizures.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
