Electroencephalographic Seizures in Emergency Department Patients After Treatment for Convulsive Status Epilepticus

Conclusions: Electrographic seizures may occur in patients who stop seizing clinically after treatment of convulsive status epilepticus. Clinical correlates might not be present during electrographic seizures. These findings support early initiation of EEG recordings in patients suffering from convulsive status epilepticus, including those with clinical evidence of treatment success.
