AB According  to  the  World  Health  Organization  (WHO),  status  epilepticus  (SE)  is  defined  as  seizures  that  are  sufficiently  frequent  or  prolonged  to  produce  an  “enduring  epileptic  condition.”  Implicit  in  this  definition  is  the  concept  that  the  event’s  duration  renders  it  physiologically  distinct  from  other  seizure  types  and  requires  specialized  workup  and  management.  Notably,  this  definition  accommodates  multiple  seizure  types,  including  convulsive  seizures  with  prominent  motor  features  and  prolonged  nonconvulsive  seizures.
