Electroconvulsive Therapy for Super Refractory Status Epilepticus

Conclusions Although it is difficult to determine the exact role of ECT in the improvement of 63% of our cases, we present a series of patients for whom pharmacotherapy, ketogenic diet, and general anesthesia otherwise did not produce an appreciable effect on status prior to implementation of ECT. These findings suggest that cases of SRSE may benefit from ECT administration.
