Gratification Disorder Mimicking Childhood Epilepsy in an 18-month-old Nigerian Girl: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT: Gratification disorder is common in younger children, but is often unrecognized because unlike in adolescents, it does not involve manual genital manipulation and the clinical features are quite variable; therefore a thorough history, physical examination, and video recording of the events will go a long way in making the correct diagnosis, otherwise it could easily be misdiagnosed as epilepsy, nonepileptic paroxysmal movement disorder, or even gastrointestinal disorder.
