AB  - Seizures  are  a  relatively  common  neurological  disorder  and  may  be  seen  in  a  wide  range  of  clinical  settings.  Clinicians  in  multiple  subspecialties  should  be  competent  in  the  identification,  evaluation,  and  management  of  a  first  seizure  episode  as  well  as  the  recognition  of  seizure  mimics.  Decisions  ranging  from  determining  whether  the  seizure  was  provoked  or  unprovoked,  investigating  the  etiology  of  unprovoked  seizures,  and  initiating  antiepileptic  medications  need  to  be  approached  in  a  logical,  stepwise  fashion.  Unlike  a  first  seizure  episode,  status  epilepticus  represents  a  true  neurologic  emergency.  Prompt  recognition  and  treatment  are  essential  for  ensuring  optimal  outcomes.
