    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Epileptology

    Background:

    • Complex partial status epilepticus (CPSE) is a rare neurological emergency in children.
    • Limited data exists on the clinical presentation and management of prolonged CPSE in pediatric populations.

    Observation:

    • A 5-year-old girl presented with abrupt onset of complex partial seizures, fluctuating consciousness, and aphasia.
    • EEG showed bilateral temporal and parieto-occipital epileptiform discharges with diffuse slow activity.
    • Initial treatment with diazepam was ineffective; sustained control required phenytoin and carbamazepine.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced prolonged CPSE (over three months) with unusual symptomatology, including paroxysmal apnea.
    • Despite rehabilitation, the patient had a recurrence and ultimately succumbed to aspiration pneumonia and status epilepticus.
    • This case presents a severe, complicated, and prolonged course of pediatric CPSE with a poor prognosis.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with pediatric CPSE.
    • It highlights the need for aggressive and potentially multi-drug treatment strategies in refractory cases.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the pathophysiology and optimize management of severe pediatric CPSE.
