    Abstract

    Introduction: Status epilepticus is defined as a seizure lasting more than 30 minutes or recurrent seizures for more than 30 minutes during which the patient does not regain consciousness. Generalized, convulsive status epilepticus refers to more than 5 min of (i) continuous seizures or (ii) two or more discrete seizures between which there is incomplete recovery of consciousness. Pathologically, however, hippocampal neurons begin to die after 30 minutes of sustained seizure activity.
