A Case Study of Comorbid Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures and Epileptic Seizures in an Adolescent Female with Depression

View through CrossRef
Among patients with Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES), about 10% to 30% have epilepsy, which brings some difficulties in diagnosis. Usually, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures and epileptic seizures occur independently at different points in time, and their performance is similar, but rarely seizures can occur several times in a row. This paper reports a case of adolescent depression in our hospital, who experienced psychogenic non-epileptic seizures followed by epileptic seizures.
