This study examined the frequency of epilepsy in a consecutive series of patients who received a definitive diagnosis of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) after completing inpatient video-EEG (VEEG) monitoring. Of the 1,590 patients receiving definitive diagnosis, 514 (32.3%) were diagnosed with PNES. Twenty-nine (5.3%) of these patients were found to have both PNES and epilepsy. When strict diagnostic criteria are applied, there is little overlap between epileptic seizures and PNES among patients referred for VEEG monitoring.
本研究调查了一系列连续患者中癫痫的发生频率，这些患者在完成住院视频脑电图（VEEG）监测后被明确诊断为精神性非癫痫性发作（PNES）。在1590例接受明确诊断的患者中，514例（32.3%）被诊断为PNES。其中29例（5.3%）患者同时患有PNES和癫痫。当应用严格的诊断标准时，接受VEEG监测的患者中癫痫发作和PNES之间几乎没有重叠。
