Abstract
A 51-year-old man presented with persistent altered sensorium following a seizure.
His magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed features of focal encephalitis involving
the left temporal, parietal, and occipital regions. His electroencephalogram (EEG)
showed ongoing epileptiform discharges over the left hemisphere. This article discusses
dilemmas in the diagnosis of nonconvulsive status epilepticus in such a case scenario.
Keywords
