OBJECTIVES To report on five patients who developed, 2 to 4 days after an intracranial neurosurgical procedure, new, persistent, focal neurological deficits which were due to inhibitory simple partial (non-convulsive) status epilepticus, and resolved with anticonvulsant treatment. METHODS The age range of the five patients was 15-74 years. The operations were: aneurysm clipping (three patients) and resections of an oligodendroglioma and a cavernous haemangioma (one patient each). The new…

Non-convulsive status epilepticus in the postanesthesia care unit following meningioma excision
TLDR
This case illustrates NCSE and emphasizes the importance of obtaining an electro-encephalogram early following craniotomy to diagnose any changes in the patient’s mental status and that institution of early treatment is important to assure better prognosis.

Non-convulsive status epilepticus in the immediate postoperative period following spine surgery -a case report-
TLDR
Delayed emergence is commonly attributed to cerebrovascular events or residual anesthetic effects, but NCSE must be included in the differential diagnosis, especially in elderly patients, and anticonvulsant therapy should be initiated as soon as possible for a better prognosis.

Prolonged deficits after focal inhibitory seizures
TLDR
The results from these investigations suggest focal inhibitory seizure as the underlying etiology of hemiparesis as well as a review of the literature and investigations helpful in making this difficult diagnosis.
Non-convulsive status epilepticus in adults: clinical forms and treatment
Non-convulsive status epilepticus in adults : an overview
TLDR
Experimental and clinical data suggest that continuous epileptic activity in the brain during NCSE associated with consecutive (glutamatergic) hyperexcitation triggers neurotoxicity and proapoptotic mechanisms which eventually may lead to irreversible brain damage and the onset of a chronic epileptic disorder or to an irreversible neurological deficit.
Aphasic status epilepticus after glioma resection: two case reports
TLDR
In two cases of patients who experienced delayed onset of temporal aphasia after the removal of glioma at the language-dominant hemisphere, arterial spin labeling was useful for diagnosis and antiepileptic drug was effective.

Complex partial status epilepticus accompanied by serious morbidity and mortality
TLDR
Ten patients with persistent neurologic deficits or death after well-documented NCSE in the form of complex partial status epilepticus (CPSE) are reported, finding poor outcomes identified included persistent (lasting at least 3 months) or permanent cognitive or memory loss (5 patients), cognitive orMemory loss plus motor and sensory dysfunction (3 patients, and death).
Confusional States with Periodic Lateralized Epileptiform Discharges (PLEDs): A Peculiar Epileptic Syndrome in the Elderly
TLDR
Seven patients over the age of 60 years suffered from recurrent and prolonged episodes of confusional state associated with psychic and neurologic manifestations, accompanied by the occurrence of periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) on the EEG.
Complex partial status epilepticus.
TLDR
Two children had complex partial status epilepticus, a rare convulsive disorder, which was confirmed by the ictal EEG, which demonstrated continuous focal discharge in the left temporal region in one child and constant focal spike-and-wave activity over the right temporal areas in the other.

TLDR
Eleven patients with transient paralytic attacks of obscure nature are described, possibly representing nonconvulsive seizure paralysis, and two cases of the hypertensive amaurosis-seizure syndrome have been added as further examples of ictal deficits.

Prolonged partial complex status epilepticus
TLDR
Four prolonged episodes of partial complex status epilepticus were observed in a teenaged girl, in which her mental state frequently fluctuated between mildly clouded consciousness and almost total unresponsiveness; once, she was also blind during this phase of impaired consciousness.
Hemiparetic seizures
In three patients hemiparesis was a manifestation of focal seizures. In all, there were electroencephalographic abnormalities and radionucleotide uptake in the contralateral hemisphere. Treatment of…
Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus: EEG Analysis in a Large Series
TLDR
This study suggests that electrographically NCSE is a highly heterogeneous epileptic state, and i.v. DZP may serve as a valuable diagnostic tool in differentiating generalized from focal onset NCSE.

TLDR
A patient with intermittent episodes over a 10‐year period of a fluent Wernicke's aphasia associated with paroxysmal posterior temporoparietal spike‐wave activity on the EEG is described.
