Abstract
A 49 year old man presented with dizziness and altered behavior associ ated with a nonconvulsive seizure, He had a long history of well-contr olled tonic-clonic seizures and daily episodes of 10 second staring sp ells, Despite normal neurological and laboratory examinations, an emer gent electroencephalogram showed changes consistent with nonconvulsive generalized status epilepticus.
