Brief Communication: Psychogenic Sensory Loss
J Nerv Ment Dis 176:686-687, Rolak,L.A., 1988
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Twenty patients had purely psychogenic complaints, while 80 had organic lesions. Sensory loss split the midline in four patients (20%) with psychogenic complaints but also in six patients (7.5%) with structural lesions (p = NS). Vibration was diminished in 19 patients (95%) with psychiatric disease but also in 69 patients (86%) with organic lesions (p = NS). Contrary to popular beliefs, these �nonphysiologic� findings do not distinguish psychogenic from organic sensory loss.
