Status epilepticus implies a prolonged seizure or recurrent seizures with persistent decreased consciousness, lasting at least 30 minutes. Both convulsive and nonconvulsive forms exist, either of which may lead to death or additional neurologic deficit. Therapy involves careful supportive care plus some combination of benzodiazepines, phenytoin, or phenobarbital. The outcome depends first on the etiology and second on the rapidity with which seizures are controlled.
癫痫持续状态是指癫痫发作持续时间延长或反复发作且意识持续下降，持续至少30分钟。惊厥性和非惊厥性形式均存在，二者均可能导致死亡或额外的神经功能缺损。治疗包括仔细的支持性护理以及苯二氮卓类、苯妥英或苯巴比妥的某种联合使用。预后首先取决于病因，其次取决于癫痫发作得到控制的速度。
