02-EEG in nonconvulsive status epileptisus (NCSE)

Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is a serious acute situation in neurology which is not always identified. It covers a heterogenous group of electrophysiological situations. The diagnosis of NCSE requires an electroencephalogram (EEG), since clinical signs and symptoms are often nonspecific. As EEG patterns are not always unequivocal, no reliable diagnostic test exists. To simplify the diagnosis, Salzburg EEG Criteria for NCSE were formulated in 2013, with clinical validation still in progress.
