An elderly patient with no history of seizure disorder or trauma was admitted to a county medical center in an unresponsive state. An initial diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident or postictal state was made. However, further evaluation including constant EEG monitoring revealed psychomotor status epilepticus, which was successfully controlled with anticonvulsants. The patient's dramatic improvement following treatment emphasizes the importance of rapid diagnosis and proper therapy for the most interesting condition.
一名无癫痫发作病史或外伤史的老年患者，以无反应状态被收入一家县医疗中心。初步诊断为脑血管意外或发作后状态。然而，进一步评估包括持续脑电图监测显示为精神运动性癫痫持续状态，使用抗惊厥药物成功控制。治疗后患者的显著改善强调了对这种最引人关注的病症进行快速诊断和恰当治疗的重要性。
