Intravenous levetiracetam terminates refractory focal status epilepticus

Nicholas S Abend et al. Neurocrit Care. 2009.

Abstract

We report a 23-year-old with complex partial status epilepticus, possibly related to underlying stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy syndrome, that was refractory to benzodiazepines and phenytoin but was terminated by administration of intravenous levetiracetam.
