Abstract
► Several semiological features are predictive of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. ► Differential diagnosis between psychogenic nonepileptic seizures and frontal lobe seizures requires particular care. ► Self-reports are often unreliable and video/EEG recording is generally required for diagnosis. ► Ictal assessment and the use of suggestion techniques help the diagnosis. ► For patterns highly predictive of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, diagnosis might rely on history and home videos of the attack.
