Intermittent episodes can be challenging to characterize and identify, often relying on client description or video of the events. A frequent difficulty is discerning if episodes are seizure activity or syncopal episodes. This presentation will review common clinical presentations for generalized seizures and syncopal episodes, and touch on other episodic syndromes. Case examples will be provided for evaluation and discussion.

Learning Objectives:

Identify common characteristics of generalized seizures
Identify common characteristics of syncopal episodes
Improved understanding of generalized seizures, syncopal episodes, and other episodes.
