Abstract:
Non-epileptic psychogenic seizures: a renewal approach of conversion disorders. Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are characterized by a paroxystic modification of behaviour or consciousness that resemble to an epileptic seizure. They are classified as dissociative or somatoform disorders. Their diagnostic remains difficult and the recording of a typical event through video-EEG is the gold standard. PNES are a symptom of the underlying disease related to disturbances in the management and regulation of emotions. Thus, the predisposing, the precipitating and the perpetuating factors must be evaluated carefully. A multidisciplinary diagnosis announcement is an essential and effective therapeutic step and treatment has to be adapted case by case.

The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
