摘要

Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is an increasingly recognized condition in non-epileptic intensive care patients and is seen in up to 8% of patients in coma. NCSE can be a challenging diagnosis because clinical features include altered mental status in the absence of convulsive activity. In critical care patients, NCSE may be precipitated by a variety of conditions, such as infection, severe electrolyte disturbance, acute intoxication, sedative-hypnotics withdrawal and traumatic brain injury. However, NCSE following hemodynamically unstable atrial fibrillation has not been reported. This article describes a patient who developed NCSE after an episode of hemodynamically unstable atrial fibrillation resulting in systemic hypotension and cerebral hypoperfusion. Fosphenytoin failed to produce clinical improvement despite resolution of abnormal pattern on EEG, and complete recovery was achieved only after administration of lorazepam. In the intensive care patients, NCSE may occur following hemodynamic compromise, and cerebral hypoperfusion may play a role in precipitating NCSE. A high index of clinical suspicion is necessary to diagnose and treat NCSE, which may be rapidly reversed by the administration of benzodiazepines.
