[HT-09-1] Nonconvulsive seizures and status epilepticus in the critically ill: the silent epidemic

Lawrence J. Hirsch (Professor of Neurology and Chief of Epilepsy/EEG at Yale University, USA)

Epilepsy is defined as the chronic disease mostly characterized by recurrent seizures, and frequently it also leads to the emergency situation such as status epilepticus or frequent seizures. Recently, new-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) or super-refractory non-convulsive status epilepticus were documented and its cause and treatment remain to be solved. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy（SUDEP）is also needed to be studied for its cause and prevention. Clinically in the real world situation, psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES) also occurs not infrequently that make the situation more complicated, and thus precise diagnosis and treatment is essential in critical care in epilepsy care. In this session, the above topics will be discussed together and finally it will provide the audience with updated clinical knowledge in daily epilepsy and seizure care.
