Abstract

Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is a situation in which patients have a varying degree of altered level of consciousness or mental condition associated with continuously electrographic paroxysms, without present convulsive movements or that they are very subtle. It is cause of altered level of consciousness, and it was thought likely being underdiagnosed, contributing the ignorance of clinician, the need for an electroencephalogram and lack of consensus diagnostic criteria. We present a patient with a type of NCS that occurs after a convulsive status generalized tonic-clonic (subtle or terminas NCSE).
