Status Epilepticus: A prolonged seizure or seizures repeated frequently enough to prevent recovery between episodes occurring over a period of 20-30 minutes. The most common subtype is generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus, a potentially fatal condition associated with neuronal injury and respiratory and metabolic dysfunction. Nonconvulsive forms include petit mal status and complex partial status, which may manifest as behavioral disturbances. Simple partial status epilepticus consists of persistent motor, sensory, or autonomic seizures that do not impair cognition (see also EPILEPSIA PARTIALIS CONTINUA). Subclinical status epilepticus generally refers to seizures occurring in an unresponsive or comatose individual in the absence of overt signs of seizure activity.

"We report a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a 73-yr-old woman with a history of uncontrolled hypertension who had recently discontinued one of her antihypertensive drugs; such cases are rare but pose a diagnostic challenge given the nonspecific nature of the clinical presentation."1.39Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome: 'a headache' on the AMU.
