Clinical characterization of status epilepticus in childhood: a retrospective study in 124 patients

Status epilepticus (SE) is defined as an acute “condition resulting either from the failure of the mechanisms responsible for seizure termination or from the initiation of mechanisms, which lead to abnormally, prolonged seizures. SE is a condition, which can have long-term consequences including neuronal death, neuronal injury and alteration of neuronal networks, depending on the type and duration of seizures” [1].
