ABSTRACT
Clinical observations and recent experimental studies have suggested that the longer status epilepticus (SE) persists, the more difficult it is to control SE pharmacologically. These findings imply that there are fundamental pathophysiologic processes, which make more resistant to intervene in the refractory SE. Recently, it has been recognized that ketamine, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists, are effective agents in the treatment of the late stages of SE in the animal model. However, only one clinical experience has been reported. Here, we report two cases with refractory SE, responsive to ketamine.
