DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12358
Abstract: In Western settings, non‐convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) and non‐convulsive seizures (NCSz) are associated with high mortality. In comatose patients, interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) identified on routine electroencephalogram (EEG) are predictive of NCSE/NCS. Little is known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12028-019-00788-3
Abstract: We describe a case of convulsive status epilepticus caused by intracranial hypotension, a complication of spinal surgery. Intracranial hypotension (IH) is typically characterized by an orthostatic headache. There have been limited case reports describing surgery-associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40263-019-00690-8
Abstract: Convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is one of the most common pediatric neurological emergencies. Ongoing seizure activity is a dynamic process and may be associated with progressive impairment of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibition due to rapid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2019.05.035
Abstract: Metabolic encephalopathy and Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus (NCSE) have been reported with cephalosporin use, particularly cefepime. We aimed to analyze the clinical and EEG findings in patients with cephalosporin-related neurotoxicity (CRN) at our hospital identified via… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neucli.2021.01.006
Abstract: Continuous electroencephalography (EEG) is a major tool for monitoring patients admitted to the intensive care unit after refractory convulsive status epilepticus, following control of convulsive movements. We review the values of different EEG patterns observed… read more here.
