Non-convulsive status epilepticus: a rare presentation of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.

ABSTRACT

We present a case of a boy with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) who presented with features of non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). This case highlights the fact that NCSE, even though not a common occurrence in JME, should be kept in mind when a patient with previous history of seizures presents with subtle changes in sensorium with no obvious cause.
