We describe the failure of an intravenous benzodiazepine to control non-convulsive status epilepticus occurring in six patients with the Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. In one patient the benzodiazepine induced a paradoxical response with clinical and electroencephalographic seizures.
PURPOSE Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening condition that can be refractory to initial treatment. Randomized controlled studies to guide treatment choices, especially beyond first-line drugs, are not available. This report summarizes the evidence that guides the management of refractory convulsive SE (RCSE) in children, defines gaps in our clinical knowledge and describes the develop...
Background: In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of propofol and midazolam in treatment of children’s refractory status epilepticus. Methods: We recruited 32 patients with refractory status epilepticus. Of those, 16 were treated primarily with midazolam and 16 received propofol. Results: We achieved complete seizure control in 6 (38%) patients treated by midazolam, and in 10 (63%)...
PURPOSE The current study evaluates the etiology, clinical course and outcome of refractory convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) in older children. METHODS Retrospective analysis of data of 73 children with CSE, aged ≥2 and ≤12 years was performed. Odds ratios were calculated between variables for clinical course and outcome. Mortality of the group was analyzed using survival analysis. RESUL...
Super-refractory status epilepticus is a life-threatening condition. Resistance to benzodiazepine and barbiturate treatment for this disorder is thought to be due to internalization of synaptic γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptors, and withdrawal of benzodiazepines and barbiturates during treatment often triggers seizure recurrence. The neurosteroid allopregnanolone acts as a positive alloster...
Several medications such as baclofen, amitriptyline and even antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine or vigabatrin are known to induce absence status epilepticus in patients with generalized epilepsies. Tiagabine (TGB) is effective in patients with focal epilepsies. However, TGB has also been reported to induce non-convulsive status epilepticus in several patients with focal epilepsies and in...
Status epilepticus is a life threatening neurological emergency. In persons with status epilepticus, if administration of a benzodiazepine and at least one antiepileptic drug has failed then management protocols for refractory status epilepticus should be put into effect. The article summarises the causes, effects, pathophysiology and treatment protocols for refractory status epilepticus.The co...
Status epilepticus is a life threatening condition with a high mortality rate in spite of aggressive treatment. There is little consensus on third and fourth line approaches in refractory cases. While electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been employed successfully as a treatment for refractory epilepsy and status epilepticus (SE) after exhausting conventional therapy, its use for pediatric patie...
