Functional neurological symptom disorder (FNSD) or conversion disorder (CD) as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) include one or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function. The diagnosis of CD was changed to FNSD and the definition has been updated since the last version of the DSM. We report here the case of a teenager patient who presented with a loss of consciousness, total functional impotence of both lower limbs and mussitations following FNSD, discussing this case in the light of the literature.
