How Many Patients with Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures Also Have Epilepsy? Neurol 57:915-917, Benbadis,S.R.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The proportion of patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) who also have epilepsy has been reported to vary from 10% to over 50%. The authors reviewed all 32 patients diagnosed with PHNES in our EEG-video monitoring unit over a period of 1 year, and only 3 (9.4%) had interictal epileptiform discharges to support a coexisting diagnosis of epilepsy. Thus, the authors believe that only a small proportion of patients with PNES have coexisting epilepsy.
