Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a highly effective treatment option among the biological treatments introduced in psychiatry. It has been used successfully to treat neurological conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and major psychiatric disorders. Non-convulsive status epilepticus can be seen as a complication after ECT, although it rarely occurs. Due to its rarity, this complication is not yet well understood, is challenging to diagnose, and information about treatment options is limited. Here, we present a 29-year-old patient with no previous neurological disease and a history of schizophrenia and refractory psychosis on clozapine; nonconvulsive status epilepticus was detected in the EEG after ECT.
电休克疗法（ECT）是精神病学引入的生物治疗方法中一种非常有效的治疗选择。它已成功用于治疗癫痫、帕金森病等神经系统疾病以及重度精神障碍。非惊厥性癫痫持续状态可被视为ECT后的一种并发症，尽管很少发生。由于其罕见性，这种并发症尚未得到充分了解，诊断具有挑战性，并且关于治疗选择的信息有限。在此，我们报告一名29岁的患者，既往无神经系统疾病，有精神分裂症病史且服用氯氮平治疗难治性精神病；ECT后脑电图检测到非惊厥性癫痫持续状态。
