Complex partial status epilepticus (SE) is rare in children. This case report details a 14-year-old treated successfully for complex partial SE, likely due to non-adherence to medication.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Complex partial seizures (CPS) are a common epilepsy syndrome in children.
  • Status epilepticus (SE) is a rare but serious complication of epilepsy.
  • Complex partial status epilepticus (CPSE) is exceptionally uncommon in pediatric populations.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old female with a history of CPS since age 10 presented with CPSE.
  • The patient's CPSE was presumed to be linked to treatment non-adherence.
  • Neurological examination and CT scan results were unremarkable.

Findings:

  • The patient received intravenous diazepam and phenytoin for the CPSE.
  • Seizure freedom was achieved within 5 minutes of treatment initiation.

  • Ictal electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed right temporal spikes and slow waves.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of treatment adherence in pediatric epilepsy management.
    • Prompt recognition and treatment of CPSE are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • Understanding the EEG characteristics of CPSE aids in diagnosis and localization.
