Abstract
|
|
|
|
Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) accounts for approximately one-quarter of all cases of status epilepticus. NCSE is divided into two main subgroups ; absence status epilepticus and complex partial status epilepticus. We report a case of a 44-year old patient who has been suffered from recurrent episodes consisting disturbed behavior and impaired cognition lasting for 12 to 24 hours. Initially, these episodes occurred at the frequency of one episode per month but have increased to once per week since last year. From clinical, therapeutic and EEG findings, we concluded that the patient was suffering from NCSE, probably complex partial status epilepticus of frontal lobe origin.
