Partial complex status epilepticus

Department of Neurology, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta. GA.

We studied the clinical features, ictal manifestations, and EEG phenomena of eight patients with partial complex status epilepticus documented by video/EEG. Age at the time of status was 18 months to 56 years. All patients had had previous seizures, and seven had previous episodes of status. In three patients, status consisted of confusion associated with continuous focal electrographic ictal activity. Five patients had confusion, aphasia, motor phenomena, or automatisms associated with recurrent partial electrographic seizures. Data from 17 previously reported cases were comparable with our 8 patients.
