[Epileptic Münchausen syndrome by idiosyncratic of effect antiepileptic drugs].

Between 1996 and 2000, a 36-year-old woman was admitted four times for the presumed diagnosis of status epilepticus. Major skin allergy followed by collapsus occurred each time after intravenous phenytoin therapy. Video-EEG demonstrated non epileptic, psychogenic seizure leading to the diagnosis of Münchausen syndrome by idiosyncratic reaction to antiepileptic drugs.
