Introduction: Although older patients with status epilepticus (SE) have a high mortality rate and poor outcome, it is difficult to perform emergent electroencephalography (EEG) to diagnose SE in community hospitals. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that can rapidly assess cerebral blood flow (CBF). Further, ASL can detect increased CBF in the ictal period. Therefore, ASL may be a useful tool for diagnosing SE in older patients. However, its effectiveness in this population is unknown. Methods: We retrospectively investigated differences in CBF abnormalities between older patients (≥70 years) and non-older patients ( |
