In response to comments on Parietal seizures mimicking psychogenic nonepileptic seizures

摘要

To the Editors: We thank Drs. McGonigal and Bartolomei for their remarks on the ILAE nonepileptic seizures (NES) Task Force (TF) Diagnosis paper. We agree with their comments, and we acknowledge that frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) seizures have been well described in the literature and are in many ways different enough from psychogenic NES (PNES) (with FLEs predominantly nocturnal occurrence, short duration, stereotyped semiology) that diagnostic mistakes involving FLE are becoming less of an issue.
