The EEG in Nonepileptic Seizures
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2006Nonepileptic seizures are episodes that resemble seizures but are not epileptic. The importance of EEG in the diagnosis of NES is that misread (overread) EEGs are an important contributor to the misdiagnosis of epilepsy. About 20% to 30% of patients with refractory "seizures" seen at epilepsy centers have been misdiagnosed, and the vast majority have ...

Stigma in psychogenic nonepileptic seizures
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2020There is scarce literature on stigma in families living with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). Using a cohort of patients with epileptic seizures (ES) and their caregivers as controls, we aimed to quantify the level of patient and caregiver stigma in PNES and identify associations of patient and caregiver characteristics with it.Patients with ...

Nonepileptic Seizures: An Overview
CNS Spectrums, 2001AbstractSince before the time of Charcot, nonepileptic seizures (NES) have intrigued and perplexed physicians. With the advent of the electroencephalogram, particularly with the addition of continuous video monitoring, the diagnosis of NES has received increasing evaluation. Characteristic historical features and clinical signs of NES, coupled with new

Art and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2020Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are episodes of seizure-like symptoms that are not associated with epileptiform discharges on electroencephalogram (EEG). They can be remarkably difficult to distinguish from epileptic seizures: both may involve alterations in mental status and behavior, sensory or perceptual disturbances, as well as simple or ...

Nonepileptic seizures – subjective phenomena
2016Psychogenic 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
2016This 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.

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures
2013Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are clinical events resembling epileptic seizures but lacking abnormal cortical electrical discharges. They are involuntary manifestations of a psychological distress. PNES are less frequent in the pediatric population than in adults, they represent from 3.5 to 9% of patients admitted for prolonged video-EEG (PV-
