Absence status epilepticus may occur in persons diagnosed with idiopathic/genetic epilepsy as well as in adult and elderly patients. Despite being a rare phenomenon, pregnant women with no previous history of epileptic seizures may be presented with new onset status epilepticus. In this report, we describe the case of a 22-year-old pregnant female with no prior history of seizures. The patient was admitted to our center with reduced spontaneous speech and perplexity. Electroencephalography showed continuous, generalized synchronous paroxysms of 3 Hz spike-wave complexes. The patient's clinical condition improved following the administration of diazepam and levetiracetam. To the best of our knowledge, we describe the first case of new onset absence status epilepticus during pregnancy.
失神癫痫持续状态可能发生在被诊断为特发性/遗传性癫痫的患者以及成人和老年患者中。尽管这是一种罕见现象，但既往无癫痫发作史的孕妇也可能出现新发癫痫持续状态。在本报告中，我们描述了一名22岁无癫痫发作史的怀孕女性的病例。该患者因自发言语减少和困惑而入住我们中心。脑电图显示3Hz棘慢复合波的持续、广泛性同步阵发性放电。给予地西泮和左乙拉西坦后患者的临床状况有所改善。据我们所知，我们描述了首例孕期新发失神癫痫持续状态的病例。
