Abstrakt: The diagnosis of functional paresis is evoked when a patient presents with symptoms and signs incompatible with current anatomical and physiological knowledge. A broad assessment, including imaging and motor evoked potentials at rest, remains necessary; the rate of false diagnosis being estimated at 4%. The mechanisms of hysteria remain still dubious but various studies suggest that functional paresis is different from simulation by conscious, voluntary inhibition. The long-term prognosis is bad. The treatment includes cognitive-behavioral therapy and rehabilitation to develop a positive attitude.
