Introduction: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency in which prolonged seizures require rapid diagnosis and treatment. It is classified as convulsive, non-convulsive and electrographic patterns. Neuroimaging findings associated with status epilepticus may raise suspicion of ischemia, encephalitis, or neoplastic lesions possibly leading to additional studies and surgical treatment. Further follow-up imaging may prevent unnecessary intervention due to the fact that findings in status epilepticus may be reversible. Case Report:We report a case of convulsive status epilepticus with electroencephalography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings discussing differential diagnosis. Conclusion:Our case highlights that clinicians should be aware of this potential fatal condition and start the treatment immediately.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
