Cognitive Status Epilepticus: Two Case Reports

Cognitive status epilepticus is an uncommon form of focal status epilepticus presenting with a dysfunction of language, thinking or associated higher cortical functions. The absence of ictal manifestations can be misleading and delay a prompt diagnosis. Here we present two patients; one with amnesic...

description Cognitive status epilepticus is an uncommon form of focal status epilepticus presenting with a dysfunction of language, thinking or associated higher cortical functions. The absence of ictal manifestations can be misleading and delay a prompt diagnosis. Here we present two patients; one with amnesic and one with aphasic status epilepticus. Through these cases, we aim to highlight the value of EEG performance early in the diagnostic work-up and early antiepileptic drug initiation in cases where an epileptic disorder cannot be excluded.
