ABSTRACT
Auto-gratification disorder is often
misdiagnosed as other paroxysmal
events, namely epileptic seizures. It typically
occurs in female infants and begins
during the first year of life. The episodes
are stereotyped and some clinical issues
can strongly suggest the diagnosis. Home
video may lead to the diagnosis and avoid
unnecessary investigations.
An illustrative case of a 9 month-old
baby female is presented. The events
had been initially diagnosed as epileptic
fits. Video-EEG disclosed a normal tracing,
even during the typical “attack”: posture
with contraction of the limbs, rubbing
hands, hip flexion and knee extension
with scissoring of the lower limbs, facial
flush and perspiration; it was stopped by
distracting her.
