Abstract

Status epilepticus is a medical emergency occuring more in children and the elderly with a high morbidity and mortality.Status epilepticus in these groups usually is a manifestaion of underlying brain disease. considering the special care and management needed in this disorder, study of clinicoepidemiologic aspects seems to be important.This prospective cross sectional study was performed on all cases 15 years old or above admitted to KERMAN Meidcal University Hospital (number 1 and 2) from the beginnig of 1997 till end of 1998.Incidence of status epilepticus in KERMAN city is 39.5/100000,in patients above 60 years it is 75/100000.The incidence rate in fall and winter is significantly more than in spring and summer. There is no statistical difference in the rate of status epilepticus in epileptic patients using established antiepileptic drugs.The causes of status epilepticus were established in 56% of cases and the incidence rate was found to be in the following order: discontinuation of antiepileptic drug in 41.5%, brain stroke in 14%, brain tumor 10%, brain infections (meningitis or encephalitis) 8%, brain hemorrhage 6%, head injury 5%, over dosage with antiepileptic drugs 4%, metabolic derangement 3.3%, multiple sclerosis 3.3%, and systemic lupus erithematoses in 3.3%. An underlying EPILEPSY of 55% was seen in 64% patients with status epilepticus which could be associated with other disorders as well. Other coexisting problems included focal neurologic deficit in 12.5%, history of status epilepticus in 16.5%, history of head injury in 12%, mental retardation in 3.7%, asthma in 3.3%, chronic renal failure in 2.3%, diabet mellittus in 1%. The mortality rate was 1%, attributed to the underlying cause of status epilepticus.
