Abstract
Functional neurological disorders have been a subject of scientific and neurological interest and debate for over a century. The variability of clinical manifestations make difficult the clinical and laboratory evaluation, and hence have a negative impact on the pathophysiogical interpretation of the condition. Considering the significant frequency of the condition and the great effort necessary for diagnosis, there has been increased attention by researchers in recent years to better understand the causes and determine treatment. This paper describes the many labels used in the literature over time to define the condition, along with the clinical and laboratory characteristics of functional neurologFunctional neurologica! disorders have been a subject of scientific and neurological interest and debate for over a century.
