Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures in Women

Seminars in Neurology, 2017
AbstractPsychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are the most common type of functional neurological symptom disorders and are frequently diagnosed in tertiary care epilepsy monitoring units.

Nonepileptic seizures – subjective phenomena

2016
Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) superficially resemble epileptic seizures or syncope and most patients with PNES are initially misdiagnosed as having one of the latter two types of transient loss of consciousness. However, evidence suggests that the subjective seizure experience of PNES and its main differential diagnoses are as different as ...

Nonepileptic seizures – objective phenomena

2016
This chapter describes the evaluation process for the diagnosis of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES), which is determined based on concordance of the composite evidence available, including historic and physical exam findings, seizure semiology, and ictal/interictal electroencephalogram (EEG). No single clinical feature is pathognomonic of PNES.

Stereotypy of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2017
Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are defined as paroxysmal episodes in which epileptic semiology features are manifested, without the characteristic concomitant electrical discharges seen in epileptic seizures. Although many studies have dealt with semiologic classification of PNES, most of the studies did not raise the question of consistency ...

Nonepileptic Seizures: Time for Progress

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2000
Even though nonepileptic seizures (NESs) occur in approximately 20% of patients admitted to epilepsy inpatient units and are easily confused with epileptic seizures (1), our understanding of NESs is grossly incomplete. The terminology and classification scheme for this group of disorders are confusing.
