To investigate the time of the first clinical event and its distribution on the days of VEM in ES and PNES patients....
In total, a consecutive series of 48 PNES and 51 ES patients matched for gender and age were retrospectively and consecutively evaluated. The time distribution of the seizures during the day was noted...
The seizure latency was significantly shorter in PNES patients compared to ES patients (...
We observed that the PNESs appeared earlier than the ESs in the VEM and were concentrated during daylight hours. Although not strictly reliable, seizure latency can contribute to the differential diag...
Ictal crying (IC) is a quite rare semiological manifestation of epileptic seizures (ESs) and it has been mostly reported in psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNESs). However, labeling IC as a pathogn...
We retrospectively screened all video-EEG monitoring unit reports from Hacettepe University Hospitals' Epilepsy Center over a 20-year period (1996-2017) for the diagnosis of IC. We included the patien...
During the study period, 1983 patients were investigated. Six patients (all female) with ES and 37 patients (33 female) with PNES were identified. When we compared patients with PNES and ES with IC, t...
Although the most common etiology for IC is PNES and it is rarely seen in ES, it can be harmful to label ictal crying as a pathognomonic sign for PNES. We proposed that there are some semiological dif...

Patients with functional seizures (psychogenic nonepileptic seizures/attacks) and those with MDD were significantly more often G allele carriers in rs41423247 compared with HCs. We observed a signific...
The majority of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNESs) are brought on by psychogenic causes, but because their symptoms resemble those of epilepsy, they are frequently misdiagnosed. Although EEG si...
Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are common imitators of epileptic seizures. Refractoriness to antiseizure medication hinders the differential diagnosis between ES and PNES, carrying deleterio...
A cross-sectional and comparative study was completed with 104 patients with DRE and 21 with PNES. Psychiatric and psychological characteristics were assessed with the HADS, SCL-90-R, NEO-FFI-R, PDQ-4...
Patients with PNES had greater levels of somatization and extraversion and were associated with benzodiazepine intake. Patients with DRE showed greater narcissistic personality disorder symptoms than ...
Patients with DRE and PNES share similar psychiatric and psychological characteristics, with only very few being significantly different....
The disease course of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) over a prolonged period of time remains unclear. The aims of the study were: 1. to describe the course of illness with a median follow-up...
Formerly, inpatients of an epileptic ward diagnosed with PNES between 2000 and 2013 were contacted via mail. They were asked by questionnaire about illness characteristics, i.e., age at onset, PNES st...
Two-thirds of the N = 63 formerly inpatients were female, their age at onset was 26.7 years. Seizure frequency decreased significantly over time, 31.7% were currently seizure-free, but still only 37% ...
As participants continue to be severely limited in their functional level and quality of life over the period under review, enhanced treatment approaches that address experiential avoidance seem to be...
Differentiating status epilepticus (SE) from prolonged psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (pPNES) can be difficult clinically. We aimed to define the utility of peripheral cell counts, cell ratios, and...

Lactate levels peak early post-SE, whereas cell counts and ratios do so later. The differing post-event time profiles of lactate levels vs neutrophil count, SIRI, and SII allow incorporation into thre...
The understanding of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) has advanced steadily over recent decades. This update summarizes new insights from the last three years....
The process of diagnosing PNES has shifted from the exclusion of epilepsy to one based on the recognition of typical clinical features. While the diagnosis cannot rely on any single feature in isolati...
PNES are now understood as a manifestation of dysfunction in interacting brain networks. This understanding provides an explanation for the psychopathological and semiological heterogeneity of PNES pa...
Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are nonepileptic events characterized by seizure-like manifestations without abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Our case report illustrates the diagnos...

PNES patients with abnormal EEG patterns and pathological brain imaging findings are more likely to be treated with ASM. The pure dialeptic nature of seizures is less likely to be misdiagnosed as ES. ...
