    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Epileptology
    • Clinical Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Partial complex status epilepticus (PCSE) is a prolonged seizure event characterized by impaired consciousness.
    • Understanding the clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) features of PCSE is crucial for diagnosis and management.
    • Previous case series have described aspects of PCSE, but comprehensive video/EEG documentation remains valuable.

    Observation:

    • Eight patients with PCSE, aged 18 months to 56 years, were studied using video/EEG.
    • All patients had a history of seizures, with seven experiencing prior episodes of status epilepticus.
    • Clinical presentations varied, including confusion, aphasia, motor phenomena, and automatisms.

    Findings:

    • Three patients exhibited continuous focal electrographic ictal activity alongside confusion.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Five patients presented with recurrent partial electrographic seizures manifesting as confusion, aphasia, motor phenomena, or automatisms.
  • The observed clinical and EEG phenomena in the studied cohort were comparable to 17 previously reported cases.

    • Implications:

    • This research contributes to a better understanding of the diverse clinical and EEG characteristics of partial complex status epilepticus.
    • Findings underscore the importance of video/EEG in diagnosing and characterizing complex seizure presentations.
    • The comparability with prior data suggests a consistent pattern of PCSE manifestations across different patient groups.
