Resumo: Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are defined by episodes of abnormal movement, sensations, or cognitive experiences similar to epileptic seizures. These events, however, are not related to abnormal electrical brain discharges and are thought to be cause by a psychological process. Children appear to carry a lower risk for PNES compared to adults and yet this diagnosis maybe present in up to 10% of the pediatric patients. The main features of PNES in such age group is discussed.
