Kawasaki disease presented with status epilepticus and diffusion MRI abnormalities in the subcortical white matter.

CONCLUSION: It is necessary to consider AESD as the differential diagnosis of prolonged seizure in infants with KD. Brain MRI led to early diagnosis and intervention in our patient. The neurological prognosis of our patient was relatively good, but the prognosis of KD with AESD is unknown. To clarify this, further case accumulation is warranted.
