Summary

Nonepileptic seizures are behavioral events that look to other people like epileptic seizures or are events that create internal sensations that may also occur in people who have epileptic seizures. This chapter focuses on psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, which are referred to simply as nonepileptic seizures. The patient with nonepileptic seizures may have a history of having experienced one or more significant traumatic events, such as sexual or physical abuse. Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring is the best way to make an accurate diagnosis of nonepileptic seizures. This test involves recording the brain rhythms of the patient for a prolonged period, typically for one or more days, usually in the hospital and while video images of the patient are also being recorded. Treatment begins when the results of EEG monitoring (including the findings of the provocative tests, if done) are discussed with the patient.
