Journal Article
Foaming at the mouth: A case of psychogenic nonepileptic seizure
2025
Overview
PNESs have a prevalence of 2–33 per 100,000, whereas epilepsy affects approximately 0.5%–1% of the population. 1 Unlike epilepsy, PNES are not caused by neuronal hypersynchrony or cerebral hypoperfusion but rather by complex neuropsychiatric mechanisms. 2 Nonetheless, their semiology often mimics that of epileptic seizures, leading to misdiagnosis in 20%–30% of cases. 3 Symptoms such as foaming at the mouth and urinary incontinence—observed in this case—are typically associated with generalized tonic–clonic seizures. VEEG remains the gold standard for distinguishing PNES from epilepsy, although the likelihood of capturing an event during monitoring is only 50%–70%.
