“…In fact, the aetiopathogenesis of nocturnal phenomena, even events of different aetiology, i.e. epileptic or non-epileptic in nature that can coexist in the same subject, is a matter of debate (1).…”

“…Recent evidence indicates that secondary generalization during sleep is less prominent in frontal than temporal lobe epilepsies (1). Several authors have shown that sleep organization is more severely disrupted in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy than patients with extratemporal lobe epilepsy.…”

“…Clinical interview as well as ad hoc questionnaires such as the FLEP scale [44] proved to be of limited value [45] in quite a few cases. Furthermore, a personal or familial history of DOA is common in patients with NFLE, making shared pathophysiological pathways plausible in these conditions and sometimes making the characterization of the nocturnal episodes more difficult [46,47]. Thus video-EEG polysomnography is frequently needed to get a definite diagnosis (see Fig.…”

“…Distinguishing NFLE from non-epileptic sleep-related events, namely arousal disorders, may be challenging and sometimes impossible on the basis of history-taking alone [7,88]. A reliable semeiological description of motor events occurring during the night is often difficult to collect from a witness or sleep partner because observers may be lacking or, if present, not fully reliable or awake when attacks occur.…”
