AB  - ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSIS  AND  TYPICAL  FEATURESStatus  epilepticus  is  a  life-threatening  neurologic  emergency.Status  epilepticus  was  traditionally  defined  as  a  seizure  (or  multiple  seizures  without  full  recovery  of  consciousness  between  seizures)  lasting  30  minutes  or  longer,  but  the  definition  has  been  revised  to  encourage  treatment  of  prolonged  seizures  within  5-10  minutes.Etiology  varies  by  age.  The  most  common  cause  of  status  epilepticus  in  children  under  5  years  is  febrile  seizure.Diagnostic  evaluation  may  include  routine  blood  work,  lumbar  puncture,  neuroimaging,  electroencephalogram,  and  antiseizure  medication  levels,  depending  on  the  circumstances  under  which  status  epilepticus  occurs.Several  guidelines  have  been  developed  for  treatment  of  status  epilepticus.  First-line  treatment  involves  administration  of  a  benzodiazepine,  whereas  loading  doses  of  other  anticonvulsants  are  used  for  seizures  that  do  not  terminate  with  initial  benzodiazepine  use.Prognosis  is  dependent  on  underlying  etiology.
