Abstract
Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, also called Functional Seizures, are a highly disabling form of Functional Neurological Disorder. The diagnosis of PNES could be missed in clinical scenarios where patients exhibit concurrent musculoskeletal/neurological findings. Characterization of convulsions and judicious use of diagnostics are equally valuable in establishing the diagnosis.
