Status epilepticus (seizure disorder), types, pathophysiolog, treatment, pharmacology made easy

[@KO-ye8lm]

Thank you for describing NCSE. I have a son with autism that can, on rare occasions, have a full body tonic seizure that appears to stop, but he's actually still having a continuous seizure as seen in a very mild thumb, finger, leg or even foot shaking. Most people are trained to think when a patient with epilepsy stops shaking the seizure stopped. Few people are trained to identify non convulsive status epilepticus. With our son, we know he's back to baseline by him yawning, giggling, intentionally turning over to return to sleep (if seizure happened in sleep), or/and makes eye contact with us. Many people also don't realize NCSE is a medical emergency because they are used to observing tonic clonics, not non convulsive seizure activity, especially following a convulsive seizure. Keep the educational videos coming please! SO helpful.
