Abstract

Nonconvulsive status epilepticus, which constitutes about 25% of all cases of status, has been subdivided into generalized nonconvulsive(absence) status and complex partial status. We report a case of complex partial status epilepticus in a 3-year-old male patient with altered mental function lasting about 24 hours. The electroencephalographic finding was compatible with complex partial status and the outcome of treatment is excellent, so far.
