| Abstrakt: | Seizures are among the most common neurological presentations to the emergency room. They present on a spectrum of severity from isolated new-onset seizures to acute repetitive seizures and, in severe cases, status epilepticus. The latter is the most serious, as it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition and treatment of both seizure activity and associated acute systemic complications are essential to improve the overall outcome of these patients. The purpose of this review is to provide the current viewpoint on the diagnostic evaluation and pharmacological management of patients presenting with status epilepticus, and the common associated systemic complications.
