title: [Differential Diagnosis of Epileptic and Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures and Treatment Consequences].
abstract: Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are one of the most important differential diagnoses of epileptic seizures and represent a challenging pathology for clinicians. The aim of this article is to impart clinical criteria for an accurate diagnosis of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures since an early and appropriate treatment may considerably improve the prognosis.
