Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Presenting as Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus: A Case Report (P1.333)
CONCLUSIONS: Non-convulsive status epilepticus is an extremely rare presentation of prion disease. To date, there have only been three reported cases in the literature. This case highlights the need to consider prion disease as an etiology in NCSE and NORSE.Disclosure: Dr. Alobaidy has nothing to disclose. Dr. Parker has nothing to disclose.

De novo status epilepticus with isolated aphasia
Conclusions Magnetic resonance imaging findings were only subtle, and EEG was without clear ictal pattern, so the diagnosis of aphasic status remains with some uncertainty. However, status epilepticus can mimic stroke symptoms and has to be considered in patients with aphasia even when no previous stroke or structural lesions are detectable and EEG shows no epileptic discharges. Epileptic origin is favored when CT or MR imaging reveal no hypoperfusion. In this case, MRI was superior to CT in detecting hyperperfusion. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled “Status Epilepticus”.
