Responsive neurostimulation offers a novel treatment for super-refractory status epilepticus when other therapies fail. This neuromodulation technique effectively controlled seizures in a patient with treatment-resistant epilepsia partialis continua.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Epileptology
Background:
- Refractory and super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) lack established treatment guidelines.
- Conventional treatments include antiepileptic drugs and anesthetics, often with limited success.
- Neurosurgical neuromodulation presents a potential therapeutic avenue for intractable epilepsy.
