Scope note: Convulsión prolongada o convulsiones repetidas que son lo suficientemente frecuentes como para que no se produzca recuperación entre episodios, que se sucenen a intervalos de 20-30 minutos. El subtipo más común es el estado epiléptico generalizado tónico-clónico, que es una afección potencialmente fatal asociada con lesiones neuronales y disfunción respiratoria y metabólica. Las formas no convulsivas incluyen el estado de petit mal y el estado parcial complejo, que pueden manifestarse por trastornos de la conducta. El estado epiléptico parcial simple se caracteriza por convulsiones persistentes motoras, sensitivas, o autonómicas que no afectan el nivel cognitivo (ver también EPILEPSIA PARCIAL CONTINUA). El estado epiléptico subclínico se refiere generalmente a convulsiones que ocurren en un individuo que no responde o que está en estado comatoso en ausencia de signos evidentes de actividad convulsiva.

Scope note: A prolonged seizure or seizures repeated frequently enough to prevent recovery between episodes occurring over a period of 20-30 minutes. The most common subtype is generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus, a potentially fatal condition associated with neuronal injury and respiratory and metabolic dysfunction. Nonconvulsive forms include petit mal status and complex partial status, which may manifest as behavioral disturbances. Simple partial status epilepticus consists of persistent motor, sensory, or autonomic seizures that do not impair cognition (see also EPILEPSIA PARTIALIS CONTINUA). Subclinical status epilepticus generally refers to seizures occurring in an unresponsive or comatose individual in the absence of overt signs of seizure activity.
