Forced normalization: case series from a spanish epilepsy unit

The concept of forced normalization was coined in 1950 by Heinrich Landolt [1,2]. He described a clinical setting that conjoined epilepsy and psychosis: patients showed behavioural and psychiatric symptoms coinciding with a reduction or termination of seizures, as well as a total or partial normalization of electroencephalogram. It is still a matter of interest because the physiopathology, triggering factors, predicting and clinical variables are still not fully understood.
