Abstract:
We report a case study of an 11-year-old Japanese boy with complex partial status epilepticus, a type of non-convulsive status epilepticus, concomitant with DOOR syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this type of epilepsy concomitant with DOOR syndrome. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed diffuse atrophy of the cerebellar cortex. The cerebellar cortex was hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging. This finding of MR imaging is rare and has been considered pathognomonic for infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy and Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome which are in the entity of metabolic disease. So this lesion may be the result of a metabolic defect occurring in conjunction with DOOR syndrome.

Seizures l: Introduction
Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology
Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
