Abstract

Introduction: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency in which prolonged seizures require rapid diagnosis and treatment. It is classified as convulsive, non-convulsive, and electrographic patterns. Neuroimaging findings associated with status epilepticus may raise suspicion of ischemia, encephalitis, or neoplastic lesions possibly leading to additional studies and surgical treatment. Further follow-up imaging may prevent unnecessary intervention due to findings in status epilepticus may be reversible. Case Report: We report a case of convulsive status epilepticus with electroencephalography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings discussing differential diagnosis. Conclusion: Our case highlights that SE should be aware of this potentially fatal condition and start the treatment immediately.
