摘要:Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are not uncommon in the elderly. Direct observation of PNES with video-EEG monitoring provides the ideal method of assessing these episodes. Recent data suggest a distinct subgroup of patients with PNES in whom psychological trauma related to poor physical health plays a role. It is important to address PNES in the elderly population because of its potential risks and problems concerning its management.
