Status epilepticus

Status epilepticus is a life-threatening neurological emergency characterized by continuous seizure activity lasting five minutes or longer, or two or more distinct seizures without full recovery of consciousness between episodes Clinically presenting as convulsive (with prominent tonic-clonic motor activity) or nonconvulsive forms, the condition results from a failure of endogenous seizure-terminating mechanisms and persistent neuronal hyper-synchrony If untreated, continuous sustained excitati...

Clinically presenting as convulsive (with prominent tonic-clonic motor activity) or nonconvulsive forms, the condition results from a failure of endogenous seizure-terminating mechanisms and persistent neuronal hyper-synchrony If untreated, continuous sustained excitation and impaired inhibitory signaling lead to progressive systemic complications, metabolic exhaustion, and irreversible neuronal injury
