Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are a common and debilitating problem in patients with epilepsy. They can be virtually indistinguishable from epileptic seizures, demanding video-electroencaphalogram monitoring, which is costly and not widely available, for differential diagnosis. Specific functional brain correlates of PNES have not been demonstrated so far. We hypothesized that PNES and epileptic seizures have distinct brain activation patterns, assessed by functional neuroimaging during ictal events of both conditions. Objective:Compare ictal brain activation patterns of PNES and epileptic seizures using single-photon emission computerized tomography. |
