Definition
Dissociative convulsions may mimic epileptic seizures very closely in terms of movements, but tongue-biting, bruising due to falling, and incontinence of urine are rare, and consciousness is maintained or replaced by a state of stupor or trance.
F44.5 in national editions
Countries report with their own edition of ICD-10. Most keep the WHO code and add more specific codes beneath it.
