Comparing maximum autonomic activity of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures and epileptic seizures using heart rate variability
PURPOSE The semiology of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) can resemble epileptic seizures, and differentiation between epileptic seizures with no EEG-correlate and PNES can be challenging even for trained experts. Therefore, there has been a search for a quantitative measure, other than EEG and semiology that could distinguish PNES from epileptic seizures. We used ECG to measure heart ...
متن کاملPsychiatric disorders in patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, with and without comorbid epilepsy
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to describe similarities and differences in epidemiological, psychiatric and semiologic variables between patients with psychogenic none epileptic seizures (PNES) and comorbid epilepsy (mixed PNES), and patients with PNES without comorbid epilepsy (pure PNES). RESULTS Forty-three patients with PNES diagnosed by Video-EEG were included. Twenty-four had pure PNE...
متن کاملQuality of life Differences between Patients with Epilepsy and Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizure
Background: Epilepsy is a neurological disease that is associated with recurrent seizures that can be caused by abnormal brain activity. Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES)have psychological bases and their clinical behavior is similar to epileptic attacks. Both patients with seizure and PNES often suffer from psychiatric problems. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life ...
متن کاملEpilepsy in patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of epilepsy in patients who presented psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). The evaluation was carried out during intensive VEEG monitoring in a diagnostic center for epilepsy in a university hospital. The difficulties involved in reaching this diagnosis are discussed. Ninety-eight patients underwent intensive and prolonged video-electroe...
متن کاملComorbid epilepsy and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures: How well do patients and caregivers distinguish between the two
PURPOSE To determine whether patients with comorbid epilepsy and psychogenic nonepileptic seizure (PNES) and their caregivers can distinguish between these two events at least one year after initial diagnosis, and to investigate factors associated with correct identification. METHODS Adult patients with at least a one year diagnosis of both epilepsy and PNES, confirmed through video-electroen...
