Summary: Pseudoseizure is an older term for events that appear to be epileptic seizures but, in fact, do not represent the manifestation of abnormal excessive synchronous cortical activity, which defines epileptic seizures. They are not a variation of epilepsy but are of psychiatric origin. Other terms used in the past include hysterical seizures, psychogenic seizures, and others. The most standard current terminology is psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). Some advocate other terms such as psychogenic functional spells or psychogenic nonepileptic events, spells, or attacks. These terms reinforce the idea that the events are not epileptic seizures.[1][2][3][4][5] A retrospective review of a small number of patients over a number of years revealed that dozens of different diagnostic terms were used to describe these events.[5] Though established in use, the term pseudoseizure and others should be regarded as jargon, and the use of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (or alternatively, spells) (PNES) is encouraged for clarity.

Summary: Distinguishing non-epileptic events, especially psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), from epileptic seizures (ES) constitutes a diagnostic challenge. Misdiagnoses are frequent, especially when video-EEG recording, the gold-standard for PNES confirmation, cannot be completed. The issue is further complicated in cases of combined PNES with ES. In emergency units, a misdiagnosis can lead to extreme antiepileptic drug escalade, unnecessary resuscitation measures (intubation, catheterization, etc.), as well as needless biologic and imaging investigations. Outside of the acute window, an incorrect diagnosis can lead to prolonged hospitalization or increase of unhelpful antiepileptic drug therapy. Early recognition is thus desirable to initiate adequate treatment and improve prognosis. Considering experience-based strategies and a thorough review of the literature, we aimed to present the main clinical clues for physicians facing PNES in non-specialized units, before management is transferred to epileptologists and neuropsychiatrists. In such conditions, patient recall or witness-report provide the first orientation for the diagnosis, recognizing that collected information may be inaccurate. Thorough analysis of an event (live or based on home-video) may lead to a clinical diagnosis of PNES with a high confidence level. Indeed, a fluctuating course, crying with gestures of frustration, pelvic thrusting, eye closure during the episode, and the absence of postictal confusion and/or amnesia are highly suggestive of PNES. Moreover, induction and/or inhibition tests of PNES have a good diagnostic value when positive. Prolactinemia may also be a useful biomarker to distinguish PNES from epileptic seizures, especially following bilateral tonic-clonic seizures. Finally, regardless the level of certainty in the diagnosis of the PNES, it is important to subsequently refer the patient for epileptological and neuropsychiatric follow-up.

Summary: Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures are episodes of movement, sensation, or behaviors that are similar to epileptic seizures but do not have a neurologic origin; rather, they are somatic manifestations of psychologic distress. Patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures frequently are misdiagnosed and treated for epilepsy. Video-electroencephalography monitoring is preferred for diagnosis. From 5 to 10 percent of outpatient epilepsy patients and 20 to 40 percent of inpatient epilepsy patients have psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. These patients inevitably have comorbid psychiatric illnesses, most commonly depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, other dissociative and somatoform disorders, and personality pathology, especially borderline personality type. Many patients have a history of sexual or physical abuse. Between 75 and 85 percent of patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures are women. Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures typically begin in young adulthood. Treatment involves discontinuation of antiepileptic drugs in patients without concurrent epilepsy and referral for appropriate psychiatric care. More studies are needed to determine the best treatment modalities.
