Pseudoparalysis

Psedoparalysis - urinary incontinence. Pseudoparaltus consists of excessive urination that occurs in rare situations in which the bladder remains partially empty (its wall begins to contract later than usual), when the patient becomes silent for a long time in surprise when the attending physician unexpectedly reports a deterioration in health or when visiting a medical facility.



Pseudoparalysis is a neurological disorder that is a perverted or pseudo-real form or symptom of true paralysis. A pseudoparalytic seizure, unlike true paroxysms of epilepsy, is not accompanied by large convulsions and hallucinations, but only imitates them. The seizure is usually preceded by a long period of nonconvulsive time—days, weeks, or months. A characteristic feature of pseudoparoxysm is a total inability to move. All three elements of a classic non-affective seizure are not always observed. In typical cases of a pseudo-seizure, tongue bites, hyperkinesis, autonomic disorders, and pupillary reactions can be observed, as in real epileptic seizures. The clinical picture of a pseudoparoxysm varies significantly depending on the theory adopted by the author. Pseudoparoxysms can be divided into several types in accordance with theories explaining the etiology and pathophysiology of pseudoparoxysms. Some types are distinguished solely by the results of electroencephalography, while others are clearly distinguished visually, based on clinical symptoms. Several examples of pseudoparoxysmus - "Orthostatic type" - Pseudoepilepsy, developing with orthostatic overload in the form of typical pseudoparoxysmus. The course is favorable and requires observation and prevention of exacerbation of pseudoparoxysm during exercise. A non-convulsive variant is rare, which is observed mainly as an interictal symptom simulating hypoxic syncope. Usually diagnosed by chance when other causes of coma and hemodynamic disorders are excluded, it is benign, and can be an independent variant of the course of pseudoparsclepsy

Ocular type - Accompanied by precursors and posture: pupils are dilated, eyeballs rotate in a vertical plane (goniotropic spasm), eyelids are closed, opening the eyes is very difficult, subcutaneous hemorrhages around the eyes and under the eyes ("bags"). Sometimes an advanced increase in intracranial pressure with severe uncompensated primary mental pathology contributes to the emergence
