“…On the other hand, it is suggested that a wide range of psychopathologies may be the basis of PNES and that their treatment could improve clinical outcomes, avoiding the perpetuation of ongoing psychogenic seizures (35). In our series, 11.36% of patients presented isolated PNES, and another 6.69% had concurrent epilepsy and PNES, the total prevalence of PNES was 18.05%, which is consistent with previous reports (24,33,41). Of the total group with epilepsy (428 patients), 7.7% had PNES.…”

“…A recently published epidemiological study carried out in the southern region of Egypt found the prevalence of psychogenic seizures to be 4.97% in patients with epilepsy. The study also found a delay in diagnosis of an average 7.12 years from the first seizure and PNES predominance in females [3].…”

“… 36 Similarly, in epilepsy, comorbid PNES is the most common functional phenotype with a mean frequency of 12%. 38 , 39 , 40 Following this background, one may speculate that such “functional overlay” is more common in patients with TS than previously thought.…”

“…For example, in Parkinson's disease (PD) a prevalence of FMD comorbidity of up to 8% has been reported, most commonly presenting with gait disturbances and tremor 36 . Similarly, in epilepsy, comorbid PNES is the most common functional phenotype with a mean frequency of 12% 38–40 . Following this background, one may speculate that such “functional overlay” is more common in patients with TS than previously thought.…”
