Abstract :

Annual incidence of status epilepticus puts it in the second place among neurological disorders (acute stroke, being the first), with high mortality risk. Occurrences of RSE have been mostly associated with acute, severe and potentially fatal underlying ethologies such as, encephalitis, massive stroke; or rapidly progressive brain tumors. This may be severe impairment of consciousness. In non-convulsive status epilepticus, brain is either continuously seizing or seizing so frequently that the patient never has a chance to recover from the period of extreme confusion that normally follows a seizure. This recovery period is called the post-octal state. Often, people in non-convulsive status epilepticus look like many other patients, who are unresponsive due to an encephalopathy. Firstly, we have to determine whether a patient really is seizing. Part of the reason is that NCSE is a relatively newly described occurrence, and by its nature it isnâ??t dramatically obvious as a convulsive status epilepticus. Treatment of NCSE is most commonly based either on benzodiazepine or an anesthetic agent.
