1 Proposal for best practice in the use of video-EEG when psychogenic non-epileptic seizures are a possible diagnosis  Kimberley Whitehead, Nick Kane, Alistair Wardrope, Ros Kandler, Markus Reuber  Clinical Neurophysiology Practice  Volume 2, Pages (January 2017) DOI: /j.cnp Copyright © 2017 International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Adult female with history of 1) prolonged events of thrashing with loss of awareness 2) twitches 3) ‘absences’. Typical examples of attack types 1) and 2) were captured and found to be non-epileptic. Figure shows EEG during the offset of attack type 1) with symmetrical alpha rhythm, heart rate at the upper limit of the patient’s resting heart rate and rhythmic low amplitude non-evolving 5Hz tremor on the right deltoid trace. This attack lasted for 33min with intermittent cessation of shaking (e.g. first second of screenshot). Eyes were closed for the duration of the attack and resistance to eye opening was documented.
