A prolonged seizure or seizures repeated frequently enough to prevent recovery between
episodes occurring over a period of 20-30 minutes. The most common subtype is generalized
tonic-clonic status epilepticus, a potentially fatal condition associated with neuronal
injury and respiratory and metabolic dysfunction. Nonconvulsive forms include petit
mal status and complex partial status, which may manifest as behavioral disturbances.
Simple partial status epilepticus consists of persistent motor, sensory, or autonomic
seizures that do not impair cognition (see also EPILEPSIA PARTIALIS CONTINUA). Subclinical
status epilepticus generally refers to seizures occurring in an unresponsive or comatose
individual in the absence of overt signs of seizure activity. (From N Engl J Med 1998
Apr 2;338(14):970-6; Neurologia 1997 Dec;12 Suppl 6:25-30)
