Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are a all-encompassing health issue. They include altered awareness, drooping or stiff collapse, and shaking limb motions. PNES are episodic working neurological syndromes that seem like epileptic seizures but are not. PNES is one of the three most governing transitory deficit of consciousness diagnoses. Neurologists see PNES usually as functional syndromes. PNES is usually misdiagnosed, resulting in the delay of appropriate subjective treatment. The study proposed to assess the structural changes in the intelligence in patients accompanying PNES.This retrospective examining cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Medicine and Neurology, Ayub Teaching hospital, Abbottabad, from October, 2020 to September, 2021. The healing records of 42 patients accompanying confirmed PNES were gathered and inspected retrospectively.The average age of the patients (predictable difference) was 34 (±9) years, and the average age at onset was 31.6 (±5.8) age. Three patients (7%) had a certain epilepsy family history. 24 (47.6%) cases with intellect MRI scans reported abnormal verdicts, while 22 (52.4%) had normal image studies. The majority of sufferers with abnormal MRIs had silvery matter nonspecific changes (50%), Mesial material sclerosis (15%), and cysts (15%). Age at the beginning of PNES (p = 0.04), duration of PNES (p=0.01), contributing epilepsy (p = 0.05), Generalized engine seizures (p= 0.03), and focal motor seizures (p= 0.02) were powerfully linked accompanying aberrant brain MRI verdicts. Patients with PNES have a bigger-than-average prevalence of anatomical intelligence abnormalities. These judgments support the growing evidence that PNES is a brain disorder alternatively a medical puzzle.
