    Summary

    Acute brain injury can lead to nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). This case report details the first instance of NCSE occurring immediately after brain surgery, highlighting EEG

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Epilepsy

    Background:

    • Acute brain injury is a known cause of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE).
    • NCSE following immediate post-operative neurosurgery has not been previously documented.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed NCSE in the recovery room after a right temporal lobectomy.
    • The surgery was otherwise successful, with no intraoperative complications.

    Findings:

    • Electroencephalography (EEG) confirmed the diagnosis of NCSE.
    • This case represents the first reported instance of NCSE immediately after brain surgery.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering NCSE in patients with altered mental status post-neurosurgery.
    • Emphasizes the critical role of EEG in the timely diagnosis and management of post-operative NCSE.
    • Suggests that neurosurgical patients may be at risk for NCSE, necessitating vigilant monitoring.
