ABSTRACT: Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are the main differential diagnosis of pharmacorresistant epilepsy. Achieving the certainty in the diagnosis of PNES may be challenging, especially in the 10-22% of cases in which PNES and epilepsy co-exist. This difficulty hampers the management of these patients. Unfortunately, published series with this combined pathology are scarce and small in size.

It is composed by a detailed demographic and clinical data of 271 consecutive patients diagnosed with PNES in our epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) between May 2001 and February 2011, and followed until Septe
