Abstract :While the incidence of non-epileptic psychogenic seizures insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PS); is 1.5-3/100000 in community, the prevalence of PS varies between 2-33/100000. The ratio of PS was reported 5-20% for epileptic patients in community and it was reported 10-40% in epileptic centers. Approximately 20% of patients, who applied to epilepsy centers because of drug resistance seizures, were diagnosed and reported as a PS. In 2005, 2009 and, as the last time, 2010, International League Against Epilepsy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ILAE); divided the status seizure types into two main groups as generalized onset and focal onset. It was categorized by subgroups as generalize convulsive status insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(tonic-clonic, tonic, clonic and myoclonic);, generalize non-convulsive insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(absence); status, partial status and complex partial status by considering both EEG and clinical observations. In this study, we wanted to discuss the psychogenic non-epileptic status insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PNE-status); types in our cases which are not elaborated in literature.
