Non-convulsive status epilepticus in the immediate postoperative period following spine surgery -a case report-

Background Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), in which continuous epileptiform discharges occur without seizure-like movement, is rare and unfamiliar to anesthesiologists, both of which make this condition overlooked in patients with decreased levels of consciousness following general anesthe...
