Are there physical risk factors for psychogenic non-epileptic seizures in patients with epilepsy?

Unlabelled: Patients with epilepsy may have additional psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). It has been suggested that PNES are more common if patients with epilepsy are female, develop epilepsy later in life and have right-sided brain lesions. We examine whether these or other physical factors affect the risk of PNES in patients with epilepsy in a controlled study.
