A 60-year-old woman attended A&E following an unwitnessed ‘collapse query cause’. Over 4 months she recalled involuntary movement of her eyes and head to the left and, on one occasion, complete rotation of her body. She had subtle neurological signs. Imaging identified the cause of these adversive seizures.
