Stroke and Non Convulsive Status Epilepticus. A Topographic and Prognosis Description. (P5.112)

Conclusions: Even though this is a preliminary study, NCSE seems to be a serious complication with a high impact on the prognosis of acute stroke. The association between stroke and NCSE appears to be more frequent in men, right hemisphere localization, and curiously, our population involved the frontal lobe in 100% of the cases. Stroke in the anterior cerebral artery territory and exposure to cefepime suggested a lack of initial response to antiepileptic treatment with higher mortality. Recognizing these variables may be useful to define more aggressive antiepileptic treatments in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Muñoz has nothing to disclose.
