Abstract

Functional neurological disorders are widely represented in clinical practice, but their etiology, pathogenesis, as well as approaches to diagnosis and therapy have not been sufficiently studied. This article provides an overview of the taxonomy and clinical manifestations of functional neurological disorders. Modern data on the diagnosis of the discussed group of disorders are also presented, with an emphasis on instrumental methods – electroencephalography, transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional magnetic resonance imaging. The available data on evidence-based approaches to the treatment of functional neurological disorders are summarized. The main points of the literature review are illustrated by clinical observation.
Keywords: functional neurological disorders, electroencephalography, transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional magnetic resonance imaging.
