Complex partial status epilepticus

Case report and proposal for diagnostic criteria

Neurological Institute of New York, Columbla-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, NY.

A child had complex partial status epilepticus after resection of a craniopharyngioma. The status epilepticus was manifested by confusion and documented electroencephalographically by continuous focal seizure patterns in the right temporal region. Complex partial status epilepticus is an electroclinical syndrome of prolonged or repetitive complex partial seizures (with continuous interictal confusion) accompanied by electroencephalographic seizure patterns, which are either focal (usually temporal lobe) or secondarily generalized from a focal pacemaker.
