Abstract
We report a case of complex partial status epilepticus presenting as r ecurring episodes of altered mental status and subtle automatisms afte r bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Early recognition of complex partial status epilepticus as a cause of altere d mental status is important as prompt treatment with antiepileptic dr ugs improves neurologic outcome.
