MethodsIn all, 1000 individuals, 543 healthy controls (C) (313 women; age 4015years) and 457 patients with epilepsy (E) (260 women; age 3914years), were prospectively recruited from 10 outpatient neurological clinics throughout Italy. All populations were screened using the Italian Inventory for Deja Vu Experiences Assessment (I-IDEA) test and E and pairwise C underwent a comprehensive epilepsy interview.
Background and purposeThe presence of a continuum between physiological deja vu (DV) and epileptic DV is still not known as well as epidemiological data in the Italian population. The aim was to identify the epidemiological distribution of DV in Italy, and secondly to look for specific features of DV able to discriminate between epileptic and non-epileptic DV.

Abstract
Background and purposeThe presence of a continuum between physiological deja vu (DV) and epileptic DV is still not known as well as epidemiological data in the Italian population. The aim was to identify the epidemiological distribution of DV in Italy, and secondly to look for specific features of DV able to discriminate between epileptic and non-epileptic DV.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
