Abstract

Psychogenic pseudostroke (PS) is when symptoms are suggestive of a stroke, but in reality, of psychogenic origin. Most neurologists have encountered a case of such nature. However, specific information regarding its prevalence and management is scarce. This is a discussion of psychogenic PS vis-à-vis the complexities in its diagnosis and management.
