Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are a common and highly
disabling form of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). The diagnosis
of PNES could be missed or delayed in various clinical scenarios,
including where patients present with concurrent
musculoskeletal/neurological findings. This case report examines these
pitfalls and their prevention.
