Noun explanation of status epilepticus
Status epilepticus (SE), or status epilepticus, means that consciousness is not fully recovered between successive seizures, and it recurs frequently, or the seizures do not stop automatically for more than 30 minutes. Long-term seizures, if not treated in time, can lead to irreversible brain damage due to high fever, circulatory failure or neuronal excitotoxicity damage, with high disability rate and mortality rate, so epilepsy is a common emergency in internal medicine.

All kinds of epilepsy can occur, but the tonic-clonic state is the most common in clinic. Status epilepticus (SE) of generalized epilepsy is often accompanied by different degrees of consciousness and motor dysfunction, and in severe cases, there are manifestations of brain edema and increased intracranial pressure.
