An extreme type of new onset refractory status epilepticus with stimulus‐induced seizures in pharmacological isoelectric states

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is a common neurological emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. SE is classified as refractory when it persists despite benzodiazepine and second‐line antiseizure medication. Managing refractory SE in the intensive care setting often requires high doses of sedative drugs, which can induce ...
