A Case of Complex Partial Status Epilepticus.

Seung Kyoo Han, Pyoung Jeon

Abstract

Nonconvulsive status epilepticus, which constitutes about 25% of all cases of status, has been subdivided into generalized nonconvulsive(absence) status and complex partial status. We report a case of complex partial status epilepticus in a 3-year-old male patient with altered mental function lasting about 24 hours. The electroencephalographic finding was compatible with complex partial status and the outcome of treatment is excellent, so far.

Key Words: Nonconvulsive status epilepticus, Complex status epilepticus
