Outcome of Refractory Status Epilepticus
The records of twenty-two children, ages 4.5 months to 18 years, treated for refractory status epilepticus (RSE) between 1992 and 2000, were reviewed retrospectively at Childrens Hospital, Boston.

Super Refractory Status Epilepticus
Earlier definitions of status epilepticus (SE) were based on the duration of seizures, but newer definitions rely more on a pragmatic staging based on treatment failures (Table 23.1). Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is defined as SE that continues despite administration of both benzodiazepines and an appropriately dosed second-line antiseizure drug.

Neuronal surface and intracellular antibody testing in patients with long‐term epilepsy
Abstract Objective We aimed to investigate the frequency of neuronal surface and intracellular antibodies in individuals with long‐term epilepsy and the associated clinical and laboratory characteristics. Methods We tested sera from 223 patients with epilepsy without signs of autoimmune encephalitis and 12 patients with epilepsy and a subacute onset of

Neurophysiological investigations of drug resistant epilepsy patients treated with vagus nerve stimulation to differentiate responders from non-responders [PDF]
Background and purpose In patients treated with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for drug resistant epilepsy (DRE), up to a third of patients will eventually not respond to the therapy.

One characteristic of epilepsy is the variety of mechanisms leading to the epileptic state, which are still largely unknown. Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) and depolarization block (DB) are other pathological brain activities linked to epilepsy ...

Abstract Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a rare but devastating consequence of epilepsy and is the leading cause of death in people with epilepsy. SUDEP is associated with certain characteristics such as the presence of generalized tonic–clonic seizures, duration of epilepsy, and refractoriness to anti‐seizure medications ...
