Ring 20 syndrome is a rare cause of refractory epilepsy and non-convulsive status epilepticus in children. We report a patient with Ring 20 syndrome with refractory focal seizures and non-convulsive status epilepticus who showed good treatment response with intravenous steroids. We wish to highlight that intravenous pulse methylprednisolone is a useful treatment strategy in this setting.
